Franklin's Elizabeth Allan named Rhodes Scholar

The customized university experience means different things to different people. For Elizabeth Allan of Atlanta, it meant bachelor's degrees in Arabic, economics, and international affairs. It also now means the path to becoming a Rhodes Scholar:

University of Georgia Honors student Juliet Elizabeth Allan of Atlanta has been awarded a 2013 Rhodes Scholarship to attend England's Oxford University, where she plans to pursue a master's degree in Modern Middle Eastern Studies. She is one of 32 Rhodes recipients in the United States.

Her degrees from the Franklin College, Terry College of Business and the School of Public and International Affairs create a unique set of credentials for this promising and motivated young woman, and the combination of degrees itself is inspiring and should define what is meant by the notion of creating your own path. For students like this who decide what they want from the university and have the ability to achieve in and outside the classroom, the sky is truly the limit. Congratulations to Allan and best of luck at Oxford. They are lucky to get her.
