On Friday, prospective students were no- tified of the admission office’s decisions of who to offer admission for the class of 2015. A total of 1,187 students, 25% of all who applied, were offered admission. Admitted prospective students will arrive on campus on Thursday for Scholars Weekend and on Saturday for Decision Davidson 1. Many current students probably remem- ber the exhaustive application process re- quired to get here in the first place. The other side, Davidson’s admission office, goes through an even more extensive process ev- ery year. First off, Chris Gruber, Vice Presi- dent and Dean of Admission and Financial Aid, looks at every application that arrives. Over 90% enter the system electronically, many by the Common Application, and the rest are digitized. This year the admission of- fice is paperless for the first time. Gruber directs the application to the re- gional counselor, making notes for depart- ments to follow up as needed as well. Each regional counselor maintains relationships with high schools and their counselors in a particular geographic region. “They know Tour guide, Madison Rigger ’12 , leads a group of prospective students around campus. photo by: Bill Giduz See ACCEPTED, page 2 Goats offer environmentally friendly solution to campus kudzu problem Allie Francis ’12 La u r a Ch u c k r a y Staff Writer awarded Truman It’s deceivingly beautiful.

In Daily Crime Log preparation, the Graduate Fellowships Commit- tee hosted two mock interviews and follow-up 03/22/11 - 04/05/11 conversations with Francis. Denham assembled the group of interviewers, which included Pro- fessors Malcolm Campbell, B. Andrew Lustig, Kristie Foley, Peter Ahrensdorf, Hansford Epes, Mary Vasquez, Erland Stevens, and John Swallow. During the summer after graduation, Francis would like to intern at the U.S. Department of State in the Office of the Coordinator for Recon- struction and Stabilization. She hopes to use her Truman Scholarship to enroll in a dual degree Masters of International Affairs (MIA) program offered by the Columbia University School for International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and In- stitut d’Études Politiques de Paris (Science Po). Francis aspires to eventually work with the Unit- ed States Foreign Service. During her time at Davidson, Francis has been involved in a number of activities. As a sophomore she founded one of the first col- legiate chapters of Global Zero, a movement seeking to eliminate nuclear weapons around the world. She has also served as Co-President of Just Peace, a non-partisan organization that fosters dialogue about local, national and global issues of peace and justice. Francis worked on a Bank of America-Davidson College Global Energy Conference Steering Committee, vol- unteers at Ada Jenkins, participates in the Da- vidson International Students Association, and tutors Arabic. In the last five years, Francis has volunteered in Guatemala, Brazil and Syria. According to the Truman Foundation’s website: “The mission of the Truman Scholar- ship Foundation is: to find and recognize college juniors with exceptional leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in the public service; and to provide them with financial support for graduate study, leadership training, and fellowship with other students who are committed to making a differ- ence through public service.” Th e Da v i D s o n i a n CLAss oF 2015 ADMitteD stuDeNts ap r i l 6, 2011
