"I kind of blacked out to be honest, couldn't quite believe when they read my name off because everyone in the room was so impressive and so accomplished," said Klevorn, a cultural anthropology major.

Klevorn said she will spend two to four years in the United Kingdom, where she plans to pursue socio-legal studies.

Her mother said she always knew her daughter would be a Rhodes Scholar.
