Chase Palisch, Hometown Rhodes Scholar

By Jacque Day

Western Kentucky – Twenty-two-year-old Chase Palisch grew up in Gilbertsville, Kentucky and graduated from Marshall County High School. Now a senior at Centre College, he's earned the rare distinction of Rhodes Scholar, one of only 32 in the nation, and the only selected this year from a Kentucky institution. Jacque Day spoke with Palisch this week, before he left for his next adventure, to the African country of Cameroon.
