Student Profile - Caety Carter

Fall 2010

"My experiences abroad provided me with a greater understanding of different cultures and people in various regions of the world. This was always strengthened upon returning to the UHON community. My natural curiosity concerning international affairs and my desire to learn as much as I can about our world, couples well with the UHON atmosphere. Not only does UHON encourage these kinds of experiences, but more importantly it allows these situations to morph from dreams into reality. From financially solidifying my first year abroad, to daily offering me a plethora of opportunities I would never be able to find on my own, UHON has shaped my academic adventures."

Caety is a sophomore from Riverdale High School in Murfreesboro, TN. Following high school graduation, she was selected as a Junior Ambassador for the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship program to study in Germany during the 2008-2009 academic year.

At UTC, she is double majoring in humanities: international studies and Spanish.  She spent summer 2010 studying in San Jose, Costa Rica to improve her Spanish. She hopes to study abroad again during her junior year.

Caety is a member of UTC’s Habitat for Humanity chapter, the University Honors Program’s UHON Council Recruitment Committee, and a student representative to the Perspectives Lecture Series committee.  This year she is serving as a UHON Student Research Assistant to UTC’s English as a Second Language Institute. She is also a UTC Ambassador, working to welcome international exchange students to UTC.
