AROUND THE QUADS
In Lumine Tuo
TRUMAN: Ronald Towns ’08, who is double majoring in education and statistics, is the first Columbia undergraduate since 2003 to win a Truman scholarship. The scholarship, awarded by a foundation named for former President Harry S. Truman, is given to students who plan to pursue careers in government, nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in public service, and funds their graduate studies at an institution of their choice. Towns plans to attend both law school and graduate school in public policy and says he hopes to go into education policy and law, adding that his immediate goal after graduating is to teach and become a children’s rights advocate.
BOLLINGER: The Washington Post Company has nominated President Lee C. Bollinger to serve on its internal Board of Directors. The 10-member board, which includes Warren Buffett and Melinda Gates,
will vote on Bollinger’s candidacy on May 10 at its annual meeting. As a board member, Bollinger would be responsible for advising the company on how to manage its business holdings, which include the test preparation corporation Kaplan, Inc., the single greatest contributor to the Post Company’s profits.
