Kali Tambreé ’13 Selected as 2016 Truman Scholar
Kali Tambreé (Class of 2013) has been selected as a 2016 Truman Scholar — one of the most prestigious national scholarships in the country awarded to college juniors committed to public service. Out of a record number 775 candidates nominated by 305 colleges and universities, 54 students were selected as the 2016 Truman Scholars (three total from Vassar). Each recipient will receive a $30,000 scholarship toward graduate school and the opportunity to participate in professional development programming to help prepare them for careers in public service leadership.
Currently a junior at Vassar, Kali is a sociology major with a minor in Africana Studies. She plans to pursue a Ph.D. in sociology with a certificate in African American studies, eventually focusing on the organizing efforts of Black incarcerated women demanding basic human rights.
Kali and her classmates will receive their awards in a ceremony at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum on Sunday, May 29, 2016.
Congratulations to Kali!
