By West Point Public Affairs WEST POINT, N.Y.– The U. S. Military Academy is proud to announce that Class of 2027 cadets Elizabeth Fetter and Ian Fox have been selected as Rhodes Scholars, furthering West Point’s long-standing tradition of academic excellence and service-focused leadership. "Elizabeth and Ian hold themselves to a demanding standard in the classroom, in the Corps, and in training, and they do it in service of the soldiers they will soon lead,” said U.S. Military Academy Dean of the Academic Board Brig. Gen. Nick Gist. “The Rhodes Scholarship recognizes that record. The Army is gaining two officers who have already shown they prepare for responsibility before it arrives, and I am grateful to the mentors who helped them reach this point as they take on new challenges at Oxford." This is the seventh consecutive year that West Point cadets have earned multiple Rhodes Scholarships. Since 1923, West Point has had 113 American Rhodes Scholars.
