Congratulations Mona Pitre-Collins, UAA colleague and Distinguished Staff Award Recipient!

Before Mona Pitre-Collins became director of the Undergraduate Scholarship Office in 2000, the UW had gone 15 years without a Rhodes scholar. Since then, UW students have been selected for four Rhodes scholarships, four Trumans, six Marshalls, seven Udalls and 22 Goldwaters. That doesn’t count other scholarship awards, either: Mitchell, Merage, Beinecke, Gates Cambridge and Jack Kent Cooke.
