The most recent American Rhodes Scholar class has been elected, and two United States Military Academy (USMA) officer cadets are among the outstanding students who will start their studies at Oxford, England in October 2021. The last time West Point had more than one Rhodes scholar was back in 2014.
“We are so proud of and thrilled for CDT Tyrese Bender and CDT Evan Walker, the Rhodes Scholars for the USMA Class of 2021,” tweeted Brigadier General Cindy Jebb, Dean of the Academic Board at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. “They will be tremendous leaders drawing on their experiences as Rhodes Scholars, and we are all excited for their next chapter,” she added.
