The David L. Carpenter Pre-Law Prize

The College of Wooster’s Pre-Law Advising Program is now accepting applications for The David L. Carpenter Pre-Law Prize for 2017.

A cash prize is awarded at Commencement to the outstanding Pre-Law graduating Senior.

While at Wooster, he won departmental honors in economics, a varsity letter in track and field, and also played intramural sports.
