A Seton Hall University undergraduate has been named a Finalist in
the competition for a Truman Scholarship. Jacie Jones, a junior with a
dual major in Political Science / Environmental Studies as well as in
Diplomacy & International Relations, will interview with the
national Truman committee as part of the last stage of the competition.
Jacie’s accomplishment is quite significant as it places her among a
very select group of 200 elite students nationwide.
Jacie’s qualities as a servant-leader were quite evident in her
application. Letters of recommendation from Dr. Michael Taylor (College
of Arts & Sciences / Political Science), Adam Loehner (Community
Relations), and Deputy Mayor Fred R. Profeta, Jr. (Township of
Maplewood) spoke eloquently of her considerable impact both on campus
and in the local community. Clearly, the national Truman committee
agreed with their assessment.
Jacie is now working to prepare for her Finalist-level interview; an
impressive number of faculty, administrators, and fellow students will
be staffing mock interviews as part of that effort. The Truman
foundation has assigned Jacie to interview in a group of finalists that
will meet in St. Paul, Minnesota, on March 4th. Her interviewing panel
will include a number of distinguished citizens, typically including
university presidents, high-level public servants, judges, and past
Truman scholars.
