The Rector also introduced Mr. Markus Weisner of Midlothian, the University’s Mitchell Scholar. The Mitchell Scholarship provides for a year of study in Ireland, and Mr. Weisner will matriculate in Trinity College, Dublin, in the fall.

The Rector next introduced Ms. Nicole Hurd, the Director of the Center for Undergraduate Excellence, and explained that Ms. Hurd had overseen the selection process for both the Rhodes and the Mitchell at the University, and had encouraged and advised Ms. Sullivan and Messrs. Mutter and Weisner through the further stages of the national competitions for both scholarships.
