MPHS graduate trying to become Rhodes Scholar

via The Morning Sun

Mt. Pleasant native and 2008 Mt. Pleasant High School graduate Becca Farnum is taking a large step to better secure her future. Farnum has applied to become a Rhodes Scholar. “Becoming a Rhodes Scholar would be an incredible honor,” Farnum said. “It would allow me to study at Oxford University, fulfilling both a personal dream and jumpstarting my career as an academic.” Currently the 21-year-old is in her senior year at Michigan State University majoring in both interdisciplinary humanities and anthropology. A lot of time, effort and discipline have gone into Farnum maintaining a 3.9 GPA and applying for the scholarship. Applying to be a Rhodes Scholar takes a lot of work and time on its own.
