Luther College senior Georgianna "Annie" Whiteley of Wayzata, Minn., was recently named a Rhodes Scholar.
Whiteley was selected from a pool of 838 candidates nominated by their
colleges and universities. She was the only student from an Iowa school
selected for the honor.
Luther College President Richard Torgerson is excited for Whiteley.
"I
am immensely proud of Annie and of the Luther faculty who have mentored
and supported her journey of transformation at Luther. This is a great
honor for Luther College, and it affirms the type of education we
offer--one that moves students beyond immediate interests and present
knowledge into a larger world," said Torgerson.
Rhodes
Scholarships provide all expenses for two or three years of study at the
University of Oxford in England and may allow funding in some instances
for four years.
