Congratulating Governor's Scholars

Four Utah State University students have been selected as Governor's Scholars under a new program initiated by Gov. Jon Huntsman. The initiative prepares students early in their college careers to compete for prestigious fellowships, including the Rhodes, Truman and Udall.

 

President Albrecht congratulated USU’s contingent following their luncheon meeting with Gov. Huntsman.

 

Representing USU are Brianne Bartlett, an elementary education major from Hyrum, Utah; Amanda Mortensen, a biology major from Jordan, Utah; Kristen Mortensen, a mechanical engineering major from St. George, Utah; and Grayson Weeks, a political science major from Rexburg, Idaho. All are University Undergraduate Research Fellows, who are students engaged in research or scholarship as first-year students.
