Amber Brkich, a 2000 Westminster College graduate with a degree in public relations, is the ultimate survivor and took home a million dollars and an engagement ring during last night's season finale of the CBS reality show Survivor: All-Stars.
Brkich, a 25-year-old native of Beaver, Pa., outwitted, outlasted, and outplayed 17 of the finest contestants from the previous eight Survivor shows during a 39-day contest in Panama. Brkich edged her alliance partner "Boston" Rob Mariano by a 4-3 vote revealed during Sunday night's live broadcast in New York City.
Mariano also ended up a big winner on the evening as Brkich accepted his marriage proposal.
Brkich will be busy for the next few weeks on a CBS media tour. She and "Boston" Rob were featured on Monday's Early Show, and she will also be a guest on Late Night With David Letterman Monday at 11:30 p.m.
In case Amber needs any ideas on what to do with her prize, the Westminster College Development Office is accepting donations for a number of worthwhile projects.

Dr. Elizabeth Ford, professor of English at Westminster College, will present "Cluster Inspiration: The Holocaust Landscape" at Faculty Forum Wednesday, March 9, at 11:45 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"I will describe the way that clusters encourage interdisciplinary interchange," Ford said. "As proof of this, I'll describe the creation of, and read selections from my paper, The Holocaust Landscape of Holes,' which I presented at the 2004 Modern Language Association in Philadelphia. It synthesizes historical and fictional texts to arrive at a political reading for a popular children's book."
Cluster courses are taken during the sophomore or junior years at Westminster and consist of two linked courses taught by at least two faculty from different disciplines to the same group of students.
Faculty forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
Ford, who has been with Westminster College since 1989, earned her undergraduate degree from Youngstown State University and her Ph.D. from Kent State University.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Ford at (724) 946-7350 or e-mail bford@westminster.edu.
