Shannon Carney ’23, Cat Dean ’23, and Megan Pryor ’22 were among the 17 students recognized by the NC State College of Education for their leadership, achievements, and dedication to the field of education during the 11th Annual Education Council Spotlight Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 16. The ceremony was held virtually.
“We are here to recognize students for their commitment to leadership and service throughout the academic year. The ‘educate, innovate and inspire’ motto is taken to heart by all students in the College of Education,” said Education Council President Abby Earp. “Students worked tirelessly to contribute to their communities and the world in meaningful ways. They strive to become the best that they can be; therefore, it is fitting that we recognize the efforts of these students and their dedication to the college and their respective organizations.”
During the ceremony, the current Education Council executive board, the student ambassadors and the N.C. State Teaching Fellows were recognized for their leadership and contributions to the college. Cyndi Edgington, Ph.D., assistant teaching professor of mathematics education and Park Faculty Scholar for the Class of 2023, gave the keynote address, which was focused on the importance of student involvement.
Executive board members of the Education Council, the umbrella organization for all student organizations within the College of Education, presented the awards.
