A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION congratulating Esther Uduehi on being named a Rhodes Scholar

Whereas, the Rhodes Scholarship is awarded annually to a small number of students in the United States and around the world, who receive full tuition and a stipend to undertake graduate studies at Oxford University; and,

Whereas, the Rhodes is widely recognized as one of the world's most prestigious scholarships; and,

    Whereas, Esther Uduehi, a senior studying mathematics and chemistry at Indiana University in Bloomington, is one of only 32 Americans to have been awarded the scholarship in the past year; and,

    Whereas, Ms. Uduehi is a first-generation American, whose parents emigrated from Nigeria in the year of her birth; and,

    Whereas, she has already demonstrated a long record of success and achievement, having been named valedictorian of F.J. Reitz High School in Evansville, a National Achievement Scholar, and a Senator Richard G. Lugar Scholar, and is the recipient of the Herman B Wells Scholarship from Indiana University; and,

Whereas, she plans to use her time at Oxford to further cancer research, particularly in the field of drug synthesis; Therefore:

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives

of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana,

the Senate concurring:

SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly congratulates Esther Uduehi on her long and impressive record of academic achievement, and especially on her being awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 2010, wishes her well in her future endeavors, and thanks her for representing her home state and her alma mater so admirably both in United States and abroad.
