divergent points of view. Some 2,100 students from 46 states and 28

the country’s top undergraduate research programs. Oxy students

routinely win top awards and fellowships; its first Rhodes Scholar

was named in 1907. Dedicated to excellence and equity, Occidental

also is one of the country’s most economically diverse campuses,
