Area student selected for ISU President’s Leadership Class

AMES, Iowa — This fall, first-year Iowa State University student Roy Carter of Washington was invited by Iowa State University President Wendy Wintersteen to participate in the 2021-22 President's Leadership Class. Carter majors in agricultural business.

Each fall, approximately 25 first-year students are selected for the class based on high school leadership experience, academic achievement and involvement in school and community service.

The President's Leadership Class builds on these abilities and experiences, serving as an important training ground for students who will go on to become campus leaders; and ultimately, leaders in their professions and communities.

The class meets weekly to discuss a variety of topics related to leadership with Wintersteen, Robert Waggoner and other key leaders. Each student receives a $1,000 scholarship.

Carter is a graduate of Washington High School.
