Margaret E. Brosnan 450 Comments

The Class of 1911 Prize Scholarships are for seniors who have made the most progress in both academic record and in participation in extracurricular activities of enduring worth. 

Grace van Deelen (A21) is an exceptionally well-rounded student majoring in Biology and Anthropology who thrives across the natural and social sciences. Despite the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, Grace conducted detailed, independent, and original ethnographic research on climate change, university extension science, and honey bee colony collapse disorder that led to a truly distinguished interdisciplinary senior thesis. In her open-mindedness, rigor, and precocious pursuit of knowledge, Grace is the very archetype of a scholar.
