Aroop Mukharji, Marshall Scholar
Posted by jeffz under Academia, General, Alumni at 6:23 am
Congrats to Aroop Mukharji ‘09 for winning a Marshall Scholarship. Aroop, who was Class Speaker for the Class of 2009, is one of only two winners from liberal arts schools. Aroop will, I imagine, soon be matriculating at Yale Law, as is apparently mandatory for Eph Marshall recipients (see below).
Other Ephs to win Marshall Scholarships during the past decade (and this list is not necessarily comprehensive, although I believe it to be) include Rachel Shalev ‘07, Scott Grinsell ‘04, Adam Grogg ‘04, who along with Grinsell is currently enrolled at Yale Law and involved with Orphans Against Aids, and Jon Michaels ‘98, who went on to clerk for the Supreme Court (after, where else, Yale Law) and is currently an acting professor at UCLA Law.
I am fairly certain that no other liberal arts school has featured as many Marshall winners during the same time period, although Wheaton (MA) has at least three.

Kudos!
I remember enjoying his graduation speech. I wonder what he’s been doing since June, especially if he’s been living at home in Kansas.

Jeff- Thanks for the additional news.
It looks as if he lives in your neck-of-the-woods.
Perhaps you and other Ephs could have a celebratory beer at “your place around the corner.” I can’t remember the name from the “foodie thread,” one of my favorites, which started with a post on bubble tea.
