The
Fenwick Scholar Program:
(1967-2011)
The Fenwick
Scholar Program provides one of the highest academic honors
the College bestows. From among third-year students nominated
by their major departments, the Fenwick Selection Committee,
which includes the President of the College, and the Vice
President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, selects
the student(s) most worthy of this unique academic opportunity.
The Scholar designs, with one or more advisors, a program
of independent research or a project that will in effect be
his or her entire curriculum for the senior year. Projects
are expected to complete the Fenwick Scholar's undergraduate
education in the most challenging, creative, and meaningful
way. At the end of the fourth year, the Fenwick Scholar is
required to give a public presentation to the College community,
and to present an appropriate record of this achievement to
the College library.
