Rilke Grimlund ’26 selected as Paglia Baccalaureate Research Fellow

4 June 2026


Carleton seniors Rilke Grimlund ’26, Olivia Nicol ’26, and Brady Rivkin ’26 are this year’s recipients of the Paglia Post-Baccalaureate Research Fellowship. The fellowship grants them the opportunity to work in a lab or research group at a U.S. Research One (R1) institution for two years after graduation from Carleton. Thanks to the Paglia Fellowship, Grimlund, Nicol, and Rivkin will have the opportunity to gain firsthand, advanced research experience with accomplished scientists in their respective fields. This experience will also help them craft stellar PhD program applications to further continue their careers in research.

Created in 2020, the Paglia Post-Baccalaureate Research Fellowship is made possible by Carleton alum Cathy James Paglia ’74 and her husband, Louis Paglia.
