It is my pleasure to announce that Karen Lickteig ’12 (International Affairs major and one of this year’s student co-organizers of the International Affairs Symposium) received two prestigious scholarships, one from the Oregon Consular Corps and another from the Clinton Presidential Foundation. As a William Jefferson Clinton Scholar at the American University in Dubai, Karen will join a small cohort of ten American students selected to “strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence.” (Please see http://www.aud.edu/admissions/clinton.asp for more information.)

Karen acknowledges–and I add my thanks to–Cyrus Partovi, Paul Powers, Oren Kosansky, and Lucrecia Choto for guidance during the application process for the Clinton Scholarship. Greg Caldwell and Andrew Cortell did great work with the Oregon Consular Corps Scholarship program. And I also thank John Bates, former L&C faculty member and now a Trustee of the College, for helping to make the Oregon Consular Corps Scholarship a reality for college students in Oregon.

Please join me in congratulating Karen.

Peace,

Julio
