APS fellowships are a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers for exceptional contributions to the field of physics. Gladney, who is also the associate dean for the natural sciences, was nominated for his contributions to the study of high-energy physics, and for his outstanding efforts in science teaching and outreach programs for middle and high school students and teachers.
