Chattanooga man excited about Rhodes scholarship

Chattanooga resident Brad M. Smith, who worked as a campaign assistant to U.S. Sen.-elect Bob Corker, has been selected as one of 32 Rhodes scholars from the United States for 2007.

Im obviously pretty excited, said Mr. Smith, who graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University. I look forward to learning things and getting back to Tennessee, which will allow me to serve.

Mr. Smith said today that he plans to study comparative social study, with an emphasis on education, while he is at Oxford. The scholarship provides for up to three years of study in England with a value averaging about $45,000 per year.
