Senior Alletta
Brenner is
one of 40
American
students
awarded the
Marshall
Scholarship.
She plans
to study
international
politics
and African
studies.
Marshall: First year a UO
student has won the award
Continued from page 1
in international politics and
African studies.
The Marshall Scholarship was
established after World War II by the
British government to honor Gen.
George Marshall, the author of the
Marshall Plan, which was used to
rebuild Europe.
Associate Vice Provost for Under
graduate Studies Marilyn Linton sug
gested Brenner apply for the Rhodes
and Marshall scholarships after
Brenner won a first-place prize at the
Undergraduate Library Research
Award for a paper she wrote.
“She kind of twisted my arm a little
bit, got me to come see her and come
talk to other people, and they
convinced me that it would be a great
opportunity,” Brenner said.
After she was selected as a finalist,
the regional selection committee flew
her to San Francisco for an interview,
and by the time the plane landed in
Eugene, she had received a voicemail
on her cell phone, alerting her that she
had been selected.
“I was jumping around on the
plane, and the people next to me were
all excited,” she said. “They didn’t
really know me, but I was obviously
really happy. ”
Brenner plans to study the role of
two nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs) in changing perceptions of
slavery in Niger.
“For many parts of the country,
(slavery) is a very old, traditional prac
tice,” Brenner said. “I’m sort of look
ing at this question of what happens
when you have international human
rights standards ... and yet you have
traditions within particular places in
the world that are otherwise. ”
She said labor rights and the inter
action between human rights and the
environment are extremely important
to her, and she hopes to eventually
work as an international lawyer.
Her interest in NGOs was piqued
when she interned at the
Environmental Law Alliance World
wide last summer.
“They work on a lot of environmen
tal but also human rights cases, and so
that was a really great experience,” she
said. “I’m really interested in the role
(NGOs) play not only in politics ... but
also the way they influence people’s
lives on the ground in the work that
they do.”
The Forest Grove native said she
became interested in workers’ rights
and social justice when she helped
with her church’s efforts to bring food,
clothing and supplies to migrant work
ers who lived in the area.
During high school, she co-founded
Students Organized Against Prejudice
and was one of the valedictorians of
her class.
While at the University, Brenner has
been very involved with the Robert D.
Clark Honors College. She’s worked
extensively as the program coordinator
for the internship and mentorship
programs,. and last year was the
president of the Clark Honors College
Student Association.
“Alletta is an exceptionally gifted
and hard working student... She has
brought great honor to the academic
program of the university,” University
President Dave Frohnmayer said in a
news release.
Pauline Austin, a spokeswoman
for the University, agreed with
Frohnmayer.
“The University is so proud to have
our first Marshall Scholar,” she said.
She added that the University was
particularly pleased to have two
students who were finalists in both the
Rhodes and Marshall scholarship
programs. Brenner was a finalist for
the Rhodes scholarship, and psychol
ogy senior Drew Shipley was a finalist
for both awards.
