Corinne Sheridan, a May graduate of USC, has been selected as a 2006 National Physical Science Consortium (NPSC) Fellow.

Sheridan was a mathematics major and Honors College student. She is the first University student to be named an NPSC Fellow and will use the fellowship to pursue a doctorate in pure mathematics at Cornell University this fall.

"I'm very honored to receive the NPSC fellowship because of the diversity in the sciences that it encourages, the invaluable experience as an intern at the National Security Agency it offers, and the opportunity to gain experience as a teaching assistant without the burden of teaching every semester it provides," Sheridan said.

A member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sheridan was a Carolina Scholar and received the USC Outstanding Senior Award, USC Outstanding Mathematics Undergraduate Award, and was selected as a member of Who's Who Among University Colleges and Universities.
