Laveen resident is one of 32 chosen as a 2017 Rhodes Scholar


A Phoenix-area man who's the son of Mexican immigrants was named Sunday as one of 32 American men and women chosen as Rhodes Scholars who will pursue post-graduate studies at Oxford University. "I would like to express my disappointment that I was the only Latino Rhodes Scholar selected this year," he said. De Los Santos said his parents "were undocumented immigrants when they came to this country, but they're citizens now." De Los Santos graduated as a Truman Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa, with USC's Order of the Laurel and Palm — its highest honor, which is reserved for 20 undergraduates each year. The first class of American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904.
