“Emory & Henry prepared me for this opportunity by providing the knowledge and assistance as well as having a relationship with VCOM,” says Carter. “The Pre-Health advisors are tremendous about sharing information, answering questions, and helping students stay on track to meet their goals.”
Carter is the second Emory & Henry student to receive this honor. The program accepts a small set of rising juniors because of their interest in, and commitment to, practicing in rural regions. Carter has a strong interest in wilderness medicine, mission work and in making a positive difference in his community.
The College has received a $2.3 million gift from the estate of Agnes T. Rowlett to create an endowed scholarship for students who have financial need. Mrs. Rowlett’s husband, the late Col. Allen B. Rowlett, was a member of the Emory & Henry College Class of 1935.
On August 14 in the Lincoln Theatre in Marion, Va., 60 students graduated with a Master of Physician Assistant Studies, Bachelor of Nursing or a Doctorate of Physical Therapy.
