Andrea J. Brewer, a Bates College junior from Traverse City, Mich., has been awarded a $32,000 scholarship from the Beinecke Scholarship program. Brewer’s scholarship award includes $2,000 upon completion of her studies at Bates and an additional stipend of $30,000 while attending graduate school.<\/p>\n
Brewer, a dean’s list double major in philosophy and English, plans to earn a doctoral degree in philosophy and teach the subject at the college level. At Bates, she has been a member of the Representative Assembly, the college’s student government, and a contributor to The Garnet, the campus literary magazine. <\/p>\n
Under the advising of Professor of Philosophy Mark Okrent, she will investigate the concept of identity for her senior thesis during the 2002-03 academic year. “Andrea is an excellent student and very talented, with very clear goals,” Okrent said. “And she’s absolutely fascinated with philosophy.”<\/p>\n
More than 100 colleges and universities nationwide are invited to nominate a student for a Beinecke Scholarship, and a maximum of 20 are awarded. The program seeks to encourage and enable highly motivated students to pursue opportunities available to them and to be courageous in the selection of a course of study.<\/p>\n
Brewer is the third Bates student in the last four years to win a Beinecke Scholarship. “It’s highly competitive, but we have some very good students,” says Professor of Anthropology Steven Kemper, campus liaison for the Beinecke awards program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
