Track and Field Alum Brooke Ury Earns Fullbright Award
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A former school record holder and Ivy medalist has been presented with a prestigious award by the University. Brooke Ury ’24 is one of 36 recent Brown alumni or graduate students who have been presented with a Fullbright Scholarship.
Overseen by the U.S. Department of State, the Fullbright U.S. Student Program promotes peace through intellectual and cultural exchange. They are presented each year to individuals to help conduct research or teach English in locations around the world, and are selected for their professional and academic records, as well as their potential to engage culturally with their host communities. Over the last decade, Brown has consistently been one of the nation’s top Fullbright producers.
Ury was selected for a Fullbright Research Award to conduct environmental health research in Munich, Germany, specifically studying the health impacts of air pollution, temperature and climate change.
Ury graduated from Brown in 2024 as the school record holder in the 60 meter hurdles (8.49) and the 100 meter hurdles (13.83).
