Westminster Graduate Amber Brkich Wins Survivor All-Stars

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.

 Visit www.amber-brkich.com or www.cbs.com for more information about Amber Brkich and Survivor.  You can also vote at www.cbs.com to decide which contestant should receive a million-dollar bonus prize during the May 13 broadcast.
