Edwin Anderson '93 and Tim Holbrook '93 nominated for a Marshall Memorial Fellowship
Founded in 1982, the Marshall Memorial Fellowship (MMF) was created by the German Marshall Fund of the United States to introduce a new generation of European leaders to America's institutions, politics, and people. In 1999, GMF launched a companion program to expose future U.S. leaders to a changing and expanding Europe. GMF awards more than 100 Marshall Memorial Fellowships each year to leaders in politics, government, business, media, and the non-profit sector committed to strengthening the transatlantic relationship. More than 1,500 Fellows have participated in the program since its inception, creating a diverse network of transatlanticists who remain engaged through annual conferences, meetings, online communications, and involvement in other GMF program areas.
Edwin Anderson has just finished a successful tenure with Bank of America, serving as one of its vice presidents. Tim Holbrook was just named a full professor at the Emory School of Law, one of the top 20 nationally.

Natalie Bunch, Nikki Harris and Halli Sigal tapped for the Golden Chain Society!
The Golden Chain Society is a senior honor society that recognizes the extraordinary contributions of up to 12 outstanding rising seniors each year. Founded in 1926, it is the oldest organization of its kind at NC State University. To date, there are 1,057 links in the Chain, including former Gov. James B. Hunt Jr., legendary basketball coach Everett Case, UNC System President Emeritus William C.

Sara Yasin named recipient of NC State's prestigious Mathews Medal
The Mathews Medal is designed to honor students who have shown dedication and devotion to the enhancement of the campus community during their tenure as undergraduate students at NC State. It is modeled after the Watauga Medal which honors alumni who have made significant contributions to the advancement of North Carolina State University. The Mathews Medal is named for Walter J. Mathews, the first student enrolled at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1889. Through this namesake, Walter J. Mathews represents a student’s desire to attend NC State University, to contribute to its well-being and to leave a legacy on our campus. Mathews continued his contributions to the university as an active alumnus, and this award serves to promote to the student body that same interest in their alma mater after graduation.
The Mathews Medal is awarded to up to four students in one academic year, and this year Sara Yasin is one of the distinguished recipients. Last year, another Caldwell Fellow,
Kate Luckadoo '08, received the Medal.

Halli Sigal nominated by NC State for the Harry S. Truman Scholarship!
The mission of the Truman Scholarship 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 difference through public service.
Halli seeks to affect conservation and wildlife policy at the highest levels and hopes the Truman Scholarship will aid her.
Truman Scholars receive up to $30,000 for graduate study, as well as opportunities for participation in the Truman Scholars Leadership Week, the Truman Summer Institute and Truman Fellows Program in Washington, DC, and support with career planning, graduate school admission, and professional development. To win a Truman Scholarship, candidates must be selected to advance from among a national pool of outstanding applicants as a finalist and then interview successfully in Washington, DC. For more details, visit the Truman Web site.
Recent previous Caldwell Fellows to win the Truman include Tomás Carbonell '02, Brandon Buskey '02 and the late Jenny Chang '00.
