Five seniors receive traveling Rockefeller Fellowships

Concluding its annual meeting and interviews at Harvard on Dec. 10 and 11, the Michael C. Rockefeller Memorial Fellowships Administrative Board has awarded fellowships to five graduating seniors. Rockefeller Fellowships contribute $16,000 toward a year of purposeful postgraduate immersion in a foreign culture for candidates at critical stages in their development who feel a compelling need for new and broadening experience.

The five recipients are Sheila Adams, for travel to Brazil; Mariam Eskander, for travel to South Africa; Kevin Holden, for travel to Russia; Matthew Mahan, for travel to Peru; and Christine Tran ’04-05, for travel to Cape Verde.
