Carey welcomes largest class of Carey Scholars in school history

  • Monday, September 19, 2016 3:40 PM
  • Carey Scholars

William Carey University recently recognized the new students who qualified for the Presidential Honors Program. This year's class of 36 Carey Scholars is the largest in school history.
 
To qualify for the Honors Program, students must earn a 29 or higher composite score on the ACT or a 1300 on the SAT (math and verbal only). The program promotes advanced academic pursuits, interdisciplinary study, critical thinking, and independent research. Each class of scholars travels to England to explore the midlands where William Carey lived and worked as a cobbler, pastor, and launched the modern missionary movement. The region also includes William Shakespeare country and scholars have the opportunity to visit sites associated with Shakespeare as well as sites in London and Oxford. Students also participate in service projects on campus and in the community.
 
Dr. Jay Richardson, adviser for the Presidential Honors Program, said the Carey Scholars are a bellwether of the university's success. "The arrival on campus of a large class of exceptionally talented freshmen reflects the academic excellence of our university and the student body as a whole," he said. "That the incoming cohort of top-performing freshmen is the largest in our history indicates the overall sterling quality of our programs and augurs well for the university's future. I'm proud to work with such impressive and gifted students, and I'm not just referring to the Carey Scholars.";
 
Richardson said that while Carey's graduate programs and medical school continue to grow, the university remains committed to educating undergraduates. "The undergraduate programs are the core of our university, and the success of the honors program demonstrates that we've not lost sight of our primary focus, and that our undergraduate programs continue to flourish and, in fact, serve as the foundation for our expansion and growth in all directions."
 
This year's Carey Scholars class includes: Abigail Alldredge of Niceville, Florida; Chase Anglin of Sumrall; Bradley Baughman of Tylertown; Hunter Brand of Meridian; Madelyn Brewer of Hattiesburg; Jason Byrd of Hattiesburg; Nelson Conley of Senatobia; Madison Conner of Horn Lake; Marissa Felts of Moss Point; Steven Gallagher of Ocean Springs; Mary Taylor Gautreaux of St. Amant, Louisiana; Alex Green of Brandon; Abby Ham of Brandon; Kaitlyn Ham of Foxworth; Cooper Herrington of Madison; Julie Jackson of Milton, Florida; Laura Logsdon of Satsuma, Alabama; Mary Marlin of Columbus; Cassidy Monk of Biloxi; Amy Pouncey of Mobile, Alabama; Alex Roberts of Laurel; Brick Sager of Hermiston, Oregon; Joshua Sands of Ocean Springs; Tricia Shaw of Kiln; Jewel Lynne Shirley of Meridian; Braden Smith of Ridgeland; Rachel Solaas of Horn Lake; Ashlyn Stringfellow of Lucedale; Hayes Trexler of New Albany; Leslie Villarreal of Houston, Texas; Ashley Walley of Richton; Michaela Ware of Vancleave; Caitlyn White of Petal; Chloe Wicker of Pearl River, Louisiana; Micah Williams of Hickory; Katie Woods of Cantonment, Florida.
