Rhodes Scholarship
The Rhodes Scholarship is an elite distinction that few Columbia students have won in recent history. Of course, the scholarship's original aim, to produce a hyper-elite of WASP superheroes to rule the British Empire, doesn't quite jive with Columbia's diverse, international student body, nor its postcolonial scholarship. Then again, though, CCNY has actually produced more recent Rhodes winners than Columbia.
From 2002 to 2007, Alma Mater experienced a long losing streak. This was broken when George Olive and Jason Bello won scholarships.
