Alex Coccia '14, was just named a Rhodes Scholar -- the 15th in Notre Dame history!
The Rhodes Scholarship was first awarded in 1904 -- each recipient receives a two to three year education at the University of Oxford, all expenses paid.
Coccia, a former Notre Dame student body president, currently works in the Department of Health and Human Services in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), in Washington, D.C. ASPE advises the Secretary of HHS on policy development by the Department and Congress, leads special initiatives for the Secretary, and coordinates research and evaluation of Department programs.
Thirty-two Americans were selected Rhodes Scholars yesterday -- here's the press release:
