The Fulbrights, sponsored by the State Department, fund a year of graduate study or teaching abroad. McClure will enroll this fall at Sciences Po in Paris, France, following a summer internship at the United States embassy in Paris, supported by a Pamela Harriman Foreign Service Fellowship. The other Fulbright fellowship winners and their destinations: Teresa Behr (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany); Sarah Byron (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany); Sarah Carmody (Strasbourg, France); Matthew D’Orsi (Buenos Aires, Argentina); Laura Honsberger (Karlsruhe, Germany); Christopher Lauderdale (Munich, Germany); Ksenia Mankowska (St. Petersburg, Russia); Elayne McCabe (Jakarta, Indonesia); Mara Medina (Amman, Jordan); Justin Pine (Lisbon, Portugal); Shannon Reece (Guayaquil and Quito, Ecuador); Regina Scott (Yilan, Taiwan); and Amber Smith (Leipzig, Germany). The total matched a record for Fulbrights at BC previously set in 2002.

Nicholas Salter ’07 of Denver, Colorado, has been awarded a Truman Scholarship, given to college juniors nationwide (75 this year) who have demonstrated leadership abilities and plan to pursue careers in public service. The scholarship program is the nation’s official memorial to President Harry S. Truman. Salter, an economics major and faith, peace, and justice minor who spent the past year studying at the London School of Economics, was cited by the government foundation for his work with Amnesty International, the Sierra Student Coalition, the American Friends Service Committee, and Oxfam America, and for his active involvement “in the ongoing campaign for equality for GLBT students, faculty, and staff” at Boston College. The $30,000 scholarship will support Salter’s graduate work in development studies.
