Honors Student Jake Reagan Awarded 2020 Rhodes Scholar
Honors student Jake Reagan was named a 2020 Rhodes Scholar, one of the most competitive academic scholarships in the world. He succeeds Serene Singh, who was the first woman at CU Boulder to win the award, and the first CU student to win it in 25 years.
Reagan is majoring in political science and Spanish with a minor in philosophy. He plans to pursue graduate studies in international relations at Oxford University next fall with this fully funded scholarship.
A Boulder native, Reagan says he plans to return to Colorado after his studies to implement what he learned into the local community and state.
Reagan is “a remarkable young man with deep integrity, a clear vision, and the capacity for action that will allow him to continue to make a difference on campus, in the state of Colorado, and beyond,” wrote Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano in a letter to the Rhodes selection committee.
