Chancellor's Scholar
Emerson Phillips
Cary, North Carolina
"The Chancellor's Scholarship will allow me to be exposed to new perspectives on a variety of topics from both my peers and professors," said Phillips, a history/social studies education major in App State's Reich College of Education (RCOE).
RCOE "will help prepare me to be the best teacher I can be, as well as provide me with opportunities through research projects and student teaching that I might not find at other universities," she shared.
At Cary High School, Phillips served as vice president of the Executive Student Council and was an executive officer of the school's National Honor Society chapter, Key Club and Environmental Club. She was also a member of the color guard and varsity winter guard, as well as the debate team.
