Riley Konsella named Watson Fellow

2017 Apr 11

Riley Konsella, of Lakewood, CO, will travel the world next year, funded by the prestigious Thomas J. Watson Fellowship Program.

He is one of 39 students nationwide selected for the fellowship from more than 700 candidates nominated by private liberal arts colleges and universities in the United States.

This marks the fifth straight year that the College has had a Watson fellow. The children of Thomas J. Watson, Sr., the founder of IBM, and his wife, Jeanette K. Watson, established the program in 1967 to honor their parents' longstanding interest in education and world affairs.
