More than four years ago, when members of the Class of 2018 first started their CC experiences, we knew lots of random trivia about them based on admission applications: Two members of the incoming class had biked across the U.S., four were Girl Scouts, nine were black belts in karate, and they spoke a combined 27 languages. Now, as they prepare for CC graduation, here are a few fun facts about those same students, now that they\u2019re seniors: 97 students have received Keller Venture Grants (so far), 30 students have been awarded at least one\u00a0Ritt Kellogg Expedition Grant.<\/p>\n
Seventy senior students have\u00a0presented research at a past summer research symposium and 11 of the student bands that competed at CC\u2019s Battle of the Bands are primarily made up of senior musicians. Fifteen members of the Class of 2018 completed art theses and there will be 16 academic paraprofessionals and four full-time\u00a0interns\u00a0from the graduating class on campus for the 2018-19 academic year.<\/p>\n
There have been\u00a014 year-long PIFP fellowships and\u00a019 summer fellowships awarded to members of the Class of 2018. More than 250 students have used Tutt Library\u2019s thesis carrels this year. The class has 50 graduating varsity athletes, one Watson fellow, one Fulbright winner, two Fulbright alternates, two recipients of NSF Graduate Research Fellowships, and one Goldwater scholar.\u00a0And the awards list keeps growing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More than four years ago, when members of the Class of 2018 first started their CC experiences, we knew lots of random trivia about them based on admission applications: Two members of the incoming class had biked across the U.S., four were Girl Scouts, nine were black belts in karate, and they spoke a combined … <\/p>\n
