More than 100 students are selected each year. Mbanya was named a Global Rhodes Scholar\u2014the third University student or alumnus to earn the scholarship, and the first in 56 years.<\/p>\n<p>Rochester\u2019s previous two Rhodes Scholars were the late Robert Babcock \u201937, who served as lieutenant governor of Vermont, and J. Timothy Londergan \u201965, a professor emeritus of physics at Indiana University\u2013Bloomington.<\/p>\n<p>Mbanya decided on Rochester his senior year in high school after a visit by former dean of admissions Jonathan Burdick. \u201cHe talked about Rochester\u2019s support for international students and the campus\u2019s spirit of community,\u201d Mbanya says. \u201cBy the time he was finished, I had decided to apply early decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Renaissance and Global Scholar, the chemical engineering major was awarded a 2019 Davis Projects for Peace grant, a selective awards program designed to support student projects that promote peace and intercultural understanding.<\/p>\n<p>As a senior, he received a highly competitive Schwarzman Scholarship to pursue a master\u2019s degree in global affairs from Tsinghua University in China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was someone who took full advantage of every opportunity,\u201d says Wendi Heinzelman, dean of the Hajim School of Engineering &amp; Applied Sciences. \u201cI cannot wait to see what the future holds for this very promising leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rhodes Global Scholarship was launched in 2018 to enable students from any country to apply and is awarded to two academically outstanding young leaders who are motivated to address global challenges and promote international understanding and peace. Mbanya was selected with Hanna Yovita of Indonesia out of 80 nominations from 46 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mbanya has been working on his Schwarzman program from the Rochester home of his host family, Raphael Tshibangu \u201978M (MD), \u201982M (Res) and Sherry Perry-Tshibangu \u201975.<\/p>\n<p>Mbanya served as a senator in the University\u2019s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, worked on a Chem-E-Car project that created a car powered by a chemical energy source, was a peer tutor in the Department of Chemistry, and sang with the Pan-African a cappella group.
