Harvard Student From Philadelphia, Penn Student Named Rhodes Scholars
PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — A college student from
Philadelphia and another from Pittsburgh who attends school in the City
of Brotherly Love are among those selected as Rhodes scholars to pursue
post-graduate studies at Oxford University.
Rivka Hyland is a Philadelphia native who attends Harvard University. She credits her freshman year of high school at Friends Select in Center City for setting her on the right academic path:
“I think that Philadelphia’s Quaker history was really crucial to how I approached studying religion.”
Hyland is a Harvard senior who majors in Islamic studies. She’s proficient in eight modern and classical languages.
“I was raised bilingual in English and Czech,” she tells KYW Newsradio. “I went to the French international school. I became fluent and French there, picked up a little Chinese and German, and now of course I study Arabic and Greek.”Hyland says she plans on studying medieval Christian thought.
