Colgate students nominated for highly selective fellowship programs were honored last week during a Merrill House luncheon.

Provost Lyle Roelofs commended the students for their interest in extending their educations and serving as ambassadors for Colgate in the global community.

"It's important for us as an institution to provide the resources for these students to pursue these kinds of rigorous opportunities," said Roelofs. He was joined by several faculty members at the lunch, which was organized by Ann Landstrom, associate director for fellowship, scholarship, and graduate school advising for the university's Center for Career Services, along with Kelly Snyder in the Dean of the Faculty office.
