UQ graduate named Australia-at-large Rhodes Scholar

A University of Queensland graduate and advocate for social justice has been named a 2020 Australia-at-large Rhodes Scholar.

Sophie Ryan recently graduated with a Bachelors of Arts/Laws (First Class Honours) and will join a small group of exceptional individuals around the world to receive the prestigious scholarship.

Rhodes Scholars are selected on the basis of their intellect, character, leadership ability and commitment to service.

“This still feels so surreal – the opportunity to progress my studies in international conflict and dispute resolution at Oxford is overwhelming,” Ms Ryan said.
