Cecily Culver Named RIT Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar

2012 May 3

Cecily Culver, daughter of Myron and Melissa Roth Culver of Rochester, N.Y., was recently named a 2011-2012 Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Cecily is studying fine arts studio in RIT's College of Imaging Arts and Sciences and is a graduate of Odyssey Academy.

Outstanding Undergraduate Scholarship Awards are presented to students who have achieved the distinction of maintaining a minimum university grade point average of 3.85 out of a possible 4.0 and completed at least 125 quarter credit hours of study, nearly two-thirds of the credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree. Selection is also based on other factors complementing academic achievement, such as creative work, service on student committees, civic activities, employment and independent research.

Each RIT scholar receives a bronze medallion representing the traditional symbols for wisdom and respect-the Athenian owl and the olive branch.
