It has been a banner year for KU in the competition for two
of the most prestigious scholarships in the country.
Jayhawks this fall have claimed a Rhodes Scholarship and
a Marshall Scholarship, worth a combined $100,000 or more.
Robert Michael Chamberlain, a May 2002 KU graduate from Topeka
and Yates Center, won Saturday one of 32 Rhodes scholarships
given nationally for two years of graduate study at Oxford
University. Chamberlain, who is a second lieutenant in the
U.S. Army, is the 24th KU student to win a Rhodes and the
first since 1994.
Chamberlain, who also won a Truman Scholar award in 2001,
plans a public service career in international law in a position
that will enable him to influence and create international
agreements and legal policy, and to change the way policy
makers, political scientists and defense leaders think about
international law.
