<p>A nice honor for Pitt. She sounds like an amazing student and person!</p>

Pitt alumna Eleanor Ott spent four hours in a room with some of her toughest competitors earlier this month.</p>
<p>Ott, who graduated from Pitt in April, was one of 12 people in the region and 216 in the country who was interviewed for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.

Ott, who graduated with degrees in history, French and chemistry, will use her scholarship to study at Oxfords Refugee Studies Centre, a decision University administrators were quick to praise.
