When you enroll in a distance learning program or course from the University of Missouri, you gain the opportunity to study under some of the best scholars in your chosen field.

Two such academic leaders from MU’s College of Engineering recently were elected fellows by the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for 2015.

Dong Xu and Yuwen Zhang were among 347 fellows in this year’s class.

The AAAS selects fellows for their contributions in 24 different disciplines. Zhang was selected for engineering, while Xu was selected in the biological sciences category for his work in the bioinformatics field.
