The College's curriculum forced me to study in areas outside of my comfort zone, and it is in those areas that I am seeing the most differentiators between myself and my coworkers. How you set yourself apart is with better communication, better collaboration, a willingness to think outside of the box. B.A. in Chemistry and Mathematics-Physics with minors in Music and Criminal Justice Studies. The College’s 3rd Goldwater Scholar. Goldwater Scholarship
I hope that honestly people from Idaho learn not to count themselves out. Because I think I counted myself out for a long time. I want people to know that amazing people are cultivated everywhere, all the time, and it has nothing to do with the prestige of an environment, but with the intent of the people in the environment. And that can certainly be possible in Idaho. And that has certainly been possible for me.
B.A. in Political Economy with minors in Anthropology/Sociology, Environmental Science, Pre-Law and Spanish. The College's 8th Rhodes Scholar.
It’s nice living your life like a cartoon show character – the next episode will be another wacky adventure. When you embrace that mindset, a lot of cool things can end up happening. So, do the random thing. Send in the random application. It can be one of the more formative moments of your life.
B.A. in History and Political Economy with minors in Art & Design and Natural Sciences. The College’s 3rd Fulbright Scholar.
Everything just felt right. I love to travel and I love to teach, so I thought the Fulbright was a great opportunity. There’s so much to see before I settle here [in Idaho]. While I’m young, I want to take advantage.
B.A. in Anthropology/Sociology with minors in French, Human Biology and Journalism. The College’s 2nd Fulbright Scholar.
The opportunity to apply for a Truman Scholarship has provided me with experience and connections that I would have not gotten otherwise. I feel really grateful to be on a campus where answering who my biggest influence and mentor at the College has been is hard to answer. So many faculty have contributed tremendously to my academic development in life-changing ways.
B.A. in Biology and Political Economy with a minor in Philosophy. The College’s 2025 Truman Finalist.
