"Carly is truly an exceptional student and an integral part of the fabric of our community. Carly is one of those rare students who comes in as a first year student and immediately finds a role as a leader. Her activities on campus attest to her interest in expanding her knowledge and experience. She shows integrity and strong leadership in all that she does, with a careful consideration of others that reflects compassion and wisdom beyond her years. Carly is a role model for her peers (and the rest of us!) in her ability to draw students, faculty, and community members into collaborative learning and action, particularly in areas related to environmental studies."
