MSU student from Mount Pleasant one of 36 across nation named Marshall Scholar

A Michigan State University senior from Mount Pleasant was one of just 36 students throughout the country named a 2012 Marshall Scholar, a postgraduate scholarship allowing students to study in the United Kingdom. Rebecca Farnum is the 13th Marshall Scholar in MSU history, and also one of just two students in the state of Michigan awarded the honor this year. A member of both James Madison College and Honors College at MSU, Farnum has been engaged in undergraduate research her entire academic career and is currently using mathematic methodology to predict how, and if, people, organizations and governments will work together to improve food and water shortages in the Middle East and North Africa, writes Kristen Parker of MSU News.
