Greenwood Village Woman Selected As Rhodes Scholar

DENVER (AP) - A woman from Greenwood Village has been selected to be a 2015 Rhodes scholar.

Emily Witt is now a senior at Stanford University where she majors in human biology and is working on a minor in psychology.

The scholarships announced Sunday provide all expenses for two or three years of study at Oxford University in England.

Witt did research in Guatemala on chronic nutrition and is president of the Stanford Chapter of Amnesty International.

Witt is one of 32 men and women from the United States picked by the Rhodes Trust who will enter the university next October.
