This spring, the Collegium was proud to recognize thirty students’ success in national scholarship and fellowship competitions. These winners included a Beinecke Scholar, a Rotary Scholar, and six Fulbright recipients.

Scholarship participants as well as the fourth graduating class of Honors Collegium seniors, attended this year’s Student Achievement Reception on May 5, 2009, at the Faculty Club. President Gee was also in attendance to rec-ognize these exceptional undergraduates.

Dr. Martha Garland, Vice Provost and Dean of Enrollment Services and Undergraduate Education, presented two Col-legium awards. Dr. Garland, who is retiring after twenty-seven years at Ohio State, was honored for her devotion to undergraduate achievement by the creation of a new award in her name. The first Martha M. Garland Outstanding Freshman Award was presented to Justin Schulze, an in-ternational studies student who has studied abroad, partici-pated in an alternative winter break, cofounded a student group, and organized a panel discussion on immigration.

The Karen A. Holbrook Collegium Academic Enrichment Award, now in its third year, is given annually to an Hon-ors Collegium student conducting research abroad. This year’s recipient is Adrienne Strong, who will be study-ing women’s health care in Tanzania as part of her honors thesis project.

The Barbara R. Snyder Provost’s Distinguished Senior Award is awarded annually to an Honors Collegium Se-nior who exemplifies the ideals and mission of the pro-gram. Doug Schaefer was presented with the award. A 2008 Goldwater Scholar, Doug was named an NSF Graduate Research Fellow this year. After spending the summer working on the Large Hadron Collider in Swit-zerland, he will pursue a Ph.D. in high-energy particle physics at the University of Pennsylvania in the fall. We are pleased to share with you the accomplishments of these remarkable students.

This year, the senior class continued and expanded the Colle-gium Senior Research Colloquium, or Collegium Colloquium for short. Last year’s senior class pioneered the series. Meeting on Fridays throughout winter and spring quarters, the seniors took turns presenting their research to Honors Collegium stu-dents. They also invited a few juniors to present and share their work. The Colloquium inspired much discussion.

This year’s presentation highlights include the following:

The Higgs Hunt and the Search for the Origin of Mass

Join the Revolution, Just for the Health of It: Indigenous Public Health in and outside of the Zapatista

Movement in Chiapas

Hermanas de Resistencia: The Socio-Political Activism of Indigenous Women in Chiapas

As part of the university-wide Colloquium on Globalization and Ethics, the Collegium was proud to host three guest speak-ers for a panel discussion on Modern and Historical Immigra-tion Issues. The freshman class was instrumental in selecting the topic and inviting speakers.

Dr. Anthony Mughan, a professor of Political Science and the Director of the International Studies program analyzed immigration in a global and historical context. Angie Plum-mer, the Executive Director of Community Refugee and Im-migration Services (CRIS), an independent non-profit agency serving refugees, asylees and immigrants in central Ohio, discussed U.S. immigration laws and her experience as an advocate. Abdirizak Ahmed, the Senior Program Manager at CRIS and an OSU student, brought a personal perspective to the panel by telling the story of his life as a refugee.
