New College Double Graduate Joshua Ingram Named to SRQ Magazine’s 35 Under 35 List

SARASOTA, Fla. — New College alumnus Joshua Ingram was named to SRQ Magazine’s latest “35 Under 35” list, a recognition of the most accomplished young professionals on Florida’s Gulf Coast. A 2024 graduate with a Master’s in Applied Data Science from New College of Florida, Ingram also previously earned a Bachelor’s in Statistics & Applied Mathematics from New College.

“The valuable academic environment at New College, characterized by narrative evaluations, independent study projects, and the senior thesis, prepared me for both a successful career and to further my education in a prestigious doctoral program,” said Ingram. “I am grateful for the support of my professors and the valuable training from the graduate program in data science, and I am excited to see how New College and its graduates will continue to build important relationships within the Sarasota community and play a vital role in strengthening it.”

“Joshua is not only an exceptional scholar, but also a passionate advocate for New College and the unique blend of the liberal arts and STEM education available here,” said New College President Richard Corcoran. “His success is emblematic of how New College prepares students for a lifetime of learning and adaptable career success, while becoming great citizens that will become leaders in our communities and for our nation.”

The primary focus of Ingram’s research is the crossover of astrophysics and statistics. He was selected as a recipient of the 2024 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, and has opened his own consulting practice, OutlierOrbit LLC.

In 2022, Ingram was selected as a recipient of the Quad Fellowship by the Institute of International Education, one of the first students in the nation to earn this distinction. Only 100 fellowships were awarded from across the United States, Australia, India, and Japan.

Ingram grew up in Bradenton and graduated with Honors from Bradenton Christian School. He is currently working toward a Ph.D. in Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University.
