A record-high three undergraduates and an alum were awarded Rhodes Scholarships Saturday, making this the first multi-scholar year for the University since 1970.
Brianna Doherty ’12, Nabeel Gillani ’12, Emma LeBlanc ’11 and David Poritz ’12 were among the 32 United States recipients awarded the prestigious scholarship, which goes to “young women and men of outstanding intellect, character, leadership and commitment to service,” according to the Rhodes Trust website. The scholarship enables recipients to attend the University of Oxford and pursue any postgraduate degree of their choosing.
Gillani, an applied math and computer science concentrator, said he felt “very blessed and very inspired by the community at Brown.”
“Everyone had a hand in this,” he said.
Gillani said the application process helped him focus his goals and decide to pursue two master’s degrees in education and computer science.
