An elite scholarship program brought four exceptionally talented
young fine arts students to the Herberger College as freshmen in Fall
2000. The Arizona Community Foundation Arts Scholar program, launched
for the 2000-2001 school year by the Arizona Community Foundation
(ACF) in partnership with the Herberger College, is aimed at keeping
Arizona's top fine art students in-state for college. 
A Rhodes Scholar was among those who graduated from ASU in May
2001. Philip Mann received his bachelor of music degree in music
education and instrumental performance with summa cum laude honors.
He is one of three ASU students since 1995 to receive the internationally
prestigious Rhodes scholarship. Mann also was named the Herberger
College Outstanding Graduate for 2000-2001. He will attend Oxford
University beginning in Fall 2001, where he plans to study historical
performance practices in Baroque orchestral and opera music and
earn a orchestral and opera music and earn a master's degree in
music interpretation and performance. 
Selina Werbelow graduated from the Herberger College in May 2001
with two unique distinctions. The aspiring artist earned dual degrees
in painting and drawing with summa cum laude distinction. She was
also the college's 10,000th graduate since its establishment in
1964. Though the first distinction came to Werbelow as the result
of years of hard work and study, the second came by chance. It was
fitting that Werbelow landed in the spotlight as the college's 10,000th
graduate. A three-time recipient of the Regents Scholarship who
plans to pursue her master of fine arts degree, Werbelow well represents
the Herberger College student body in both the high level of her
achievements and aspirations.
