Congratulations to Jason Bello on his selection for a 2008 Rhodes Scholarship. The scholarships, the oldest of the international study awards available to American students, provide two or three years of study at Oxford University in England. The thirty-two 2008 Rhodes Scholars were selected from 764 applicants endorsed by 294 colleges and universities.

Mr. Bello, who majors in political science and economics with a minor in linguistics, will undertake an M.Phil. in comparative government at Oxford. His particular interest is in democracy studies, especially how democracy flourishes or flounders as a result of new technologies.
