Among UD's many high-achieving students, Matthew Watters (above with friends from Haiti), from Ramsey, N.J., who graduated with a bachelor's degree in neuroscience and a minor in political science, became the 12th Rhodes Scholar in UD history. He is now working on a master's degree in development studies at Oxford University, with plans to attend medical school and pursue a career in health policy. He founded Students for Haiti, which raised more than $60,000 to help rebuild a hospital in Villa destroyed by the 2010 earthquake. And Megan Pell, a doctoral student in the special education program, was one of only 10 students selected nationwide by the Council for Exceptional Children Division of Research to participate in the 2010–2011 cohort of "Doctoral Student Scholars in Special Education Research," which is helping her to expand her research on the transition between school and the workforce for students with disabilities.
