Scholar of the Month 
Carter Dickey

In the spirit of recognizing outstanding contributions to our Program, we are delighted to introduce our Scholar of the Month feature. Each month, we spotlight an exceptional individual whose dedication and impact leave an indelible mark on our community.

This December, we honor 
Carter Dickey. Carter is a Sophomore Sellinger Scholar from Mississippi who has shown remarkable leadership and dedication. As a Scholars Exec board member, he introduced a mentoring evaluation form with an 88% success rate, showcasing his commitment to academic excellence. Active in Men's Swim and Dive, Carter demonstrates a well-rounded and team-oriented approach. His role as an NJSLC Representative reflects his advocacy for his community. Additionally, his membership in the Knights of Columbus underscores his commitment to community service and ethical leadership. Please congratulate Carter for being selected as the December Scholar of the month.
