Molly Throgmorton has been named a university scholar by the College Society Advisory Board. To be named a university scholar, a student must exhibit the highest level of academic achievement with the goal of serving Christ as a scholar in the university community.
Students applying to become university scholars must have at least a 3.5 GPA, a recommendation from a faculty member, and they must craft written statements describing their Christian faith and their interest in pursuing a Ph.D. and teaching at the college level. As a final step in the process, the candidate is interviewed by members of the College Society Advisory Board.
University Scholars from Ouachita have won prestigious fellowships, including a Pew Graduate Fellowship and a Fulbright Fellowship, and they have been accepted at graduate programs at Yale, Notre Dame, Duke, the University of Illinois, Emory, Oxford, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Florida, Baylor, The Eastman School of Music, The Medieval Institute at Leeds University, Southern Methodist University and Hebrew University.
Throgmorton, a senior English major, joins Andrew Curtis as the university’s other university scholar on campus this semester.
