One of the recipients of this year’s Henry Wasser Awards for Outstanding Assistant Professors is Kelly M. Britt, an assistant professor of urban archaeology in the Anthropology Department. Britt’s work focuses on community-based historical archaeology of urban spaces. Each year the awards are given to a small group of highly qualified, academically impressive assistant professors chosen from all CUNY campuses. The Feliks Gross Endowment Awards are named after two of the CUNY Academy’s founding members, Feliks Gross and Henry Wasser. After the awardees are picked, half randomly receive the Feliks Gross award and the other half receive the Henry Wasser award. Congratulations, Kelly!
