Carroll Community College student John Richard Jayman received the President’s Academic Excellence Award at the college’s Commencement on May 29, 2013. The award includes a monetary scholarship.

The award recognizes a graduating student who has achieved a 4.0 grade point average, has earned at least 45 credits at Carroll, and has demonstrated a commitment to outstanding extracurricular activities and service to the community.

“John is an outstanding example of a student who is dedicated to his studies and who also finds time for activities outside the classroom. John is generous with his time when he is giving back to others in the community,” said College President Dr. Faye Pappalardo.

“I am honored to receive such a prestigious award,” said Jayman. “This award culminates all of efforts inside and outside of the classroom setting. Carroll has provided me with a strong foundation to succeed in all of my future studies.”
