alumni<br />

At the end of fiscal year <strong>2010</strong>, the <strong>Jefferson</strong> <strong>Scholars</strong><br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s alumni consisted of 520 <strong>Scholars</strong> and 25 Fellows who live, work,<br />

and learn all over the world. Many of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s youngest alumni are<br />

pursuing postgraduate degrees, while their older peers are making significant<br />

contributions to their communities as teachers, doctors, lawyers, veterinarians,<br />

parents, poets, musicians, playwrights, and small business owners. Among<br />

them is a producer and Emmy Award nominee for a documentary on the<br />

genocide in Darfur and, closer to home, the recently appointed associate dean<br />

for undergraduate academic programs at the University of Virginia.<br />

Alumni are vital to the well-being of the <strong>Foundation</strong>, serving as interviewers<br />

on selection committees and as advisors to the <strong>Foundation</strong> on various<br />

boards and committees. Their philanthropic contributions help sustain the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s growth and development. As the newest members of the alumni<br />

community, every member of the <strong>Jefferson</strong> Scholar Class of <strong>2010</strong> made a gift to<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> in the year of their graduation.<br />
