Several Holy Cross students won prestigious grants and fellowships
this past spring, including three recent graduates who were
awarded Fulbright Fellowships.
Evan K. McCarthy ’02 (Aurora, Ohio), and Aidyn
L. Mancenido ’02 (Danbury, Conn.), received Fulbright
Research Fellowships to study political science in Estonia
(McCarthy), and anthropology in Spain (Mancenido). Katherine
E. Rork ’02 (Londonderry, N.H.), will be in Korea
next year supported by a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship.
Teaching assistantships in France were awarded to Patricia
D. Warin ’02 (Arlington, Va.), Kelly E. Holmes ’02 (Chicago,
Ill.), Andrea M. Dooley ’02 (New York, N.Y.),
and Angela M. Archambault ’02 (Whitinsville,
Mass.). Michael P. Cassaro ’02 (Garden City,
N.Y.), and Alexandra D. Williams ’02 (Valley
Stream, N.Y.) will teach in Austria.
Two students received nationally competitive fellowships
from the Thomas J. Watson Foundation. William J. Currano ’02 (Clarksville,
Md.) will travel to Germany, Sweden, Norway and Finland to
investigate melodic metal rock music. Brett W. Maguire ’02 (Amherst,
N.H.) will travel to France, England and Canada to study
the tradition of the blind organist. Laura del Pilar Peynado
Castro ’02 (Clinton, Mass.) was named an alternate.
Their accomplishments are exceptional given that only 60
awards are given annually, and only five alternates are named.
Jonathan E. Favreau ’03 (North Reading, Mass.)
was awarded a Truman Scholarship for graduate study in public
policy. Andrew B. DesRault ’03 (North Massapequa,
N.Y.) was a finalist for the award.
Julia D. Madden ’02 (Blue Bell, Pa.) will study
musicology at Cornell University with support from a Mellon
