McAdara named Truman Finalist

Sophia McAdara, a junior honors political science major in the University of Arkansas' Fulbright College, has been selected as a finalist for the 2023 Harry S. Truman Scholarship. McAdara, who is from Branson, Missouri, joins just two other students from the U of A who were named finalists.

"To have three Truman finalists is remarkable for any institution," said Terry Martin, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. "But at the University of Arkansas we have come to expect that our students will do well. The reason is simple - the students themselves are remarkable. Hailey Hoog, Anna Mathis and Sophie McAdara have very different interests, but what unites them is their stellar academic performances, their commitment to service and to positive change, and their potential to thrive in their chosen graduate programs."
