The 2017 recipients were chosen from 882 applicants from more than 320 American colleges and universities. Each will pursue post-graduate studies at Oxford University. Congratulations to Sarah on this remarkable achievement!
Sarah's profile on the Rhodes Scholar site says, "She is currently a Teaching Resident in sixth grade science at Brooklyn Prospect Charter School in New York City. An English major, she has taken her academic interests into an array of community and activist projects, including non-profit organizations such as Telling My Story and Breakthrough New York that bring teaching in the arts and literature to underserved communities. Both her scholarly work and her work as a student activist at Dartmouth have addressed issues including the environment, sexual violence, and race. Sarah writes extensively and plans to pursue a degree in English at Oxford."

"The Rhodes Scholarships are the oldest and most celebrated international fellowship awards in the world. Each year 32 young students from the United States are selected as Rhodes Scholars....Rhodes Scholars are chosen not only for their outstanding scholarly achievements, but for their character, commitment to others and to the common good, and for their potential for leadership in whatever domains their careers may lead" [source: www.rhodesscholar.org].
