The University of Georgia is the only public university in the nation to have two recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship this year.
UGA senior Deep Shah of Duluth and 2005 graduate Kate Vyborny of Washington, D.C. have been awarded 2008 Rhodes Scholarships to attend Oxford University, England's oldest and world-renowned institution of higher education. Both are UGA Foundation Fellows and Shah was also the recipient of a 2007 Truman Scholarship.
Prior to this year, UGA has had a total of 19 Rhodes Scholars—with four of those named since 1996.
