Congratulations to University of Virginia senior Russell Bogue, recently named a 2016 Rhodes Scholar! From 2012-2014, while a student at Choate Rosemary Hall and U.Va, Russell (known affectionately by the staff as “Rusty”) served as a Prose Editor for The Adroit Journal. He intends to complete a M.Phil. in Political Theory at Oxford.
While serving on staff, Russell was also named a 2012 United States Presidential Scholar for Academics and a University of Virginia Anson M. Beard Jr. Jefferson Scholar, among many other distinctions. Since his Adroit days, Russell has founded a journal of politics at U.Va called Seriatim Journal, and has been awarded a Harry S. Truman Scholarship. See below for his full biographical statement, released yesterday from the Rhodes Scholar Program.

Congratulations, Rusty!
