UNC chairman of Exercise and Sports Science, Kevin Guskiewicz, awarded ‘genius’ grant
Posted Sep 21, 2011
Eleven days ago, Kevin Guskiewicz received a life-changing phone call. The person on the other line informed him that he was one of 22 individuals nationally to receive a $500,000 grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. But he couldn’t tell anyone until Tuesday when the official announcement was made.
