Shane Colvin is named one of 12 George J. Mitchell Scholars for 2009-2010
The U.S.-Ireland Alliance announced the 2009-2010 George J. Mitchell Scholars on Saturday, November 22, 2008 after a day-long finalist selection process in Washington D.C. with the Irish Ambassador and notable selection committee members.
Shane is an Honors student and a triple major in Chemistry & Biochemistry, Cell Biology & Neuroscience, and Music. He has done research for Prof. Mary Cloninger.
The Alliance selects twelve young Americans each year to receive the highly competitive scholarship to study at Irish and Northern Ireland universities for one year. The awards are named after former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell who spearheaded the historic Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which led to peace in Northern Ireland. The Mitchell Scholarship program recognizes outstanding young Americans who exhibit the highest standards of academic excellence, leadership and community service. The program seeks to link future American leaders with the island of Ireland.
