Carol L. Folt Chancellor, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
ach year, I am in awe of the accomplishments and acts of service that Buckley Public Service Scholars give to our state and our world all while also learning important life E lessons from those they serve. This year’s graduating class of Scholars is no exception. These 307 graduates have dedicated thousands of hours in a myriad of ways while challenging themselves to increase the breadth and depth of their involvement.
The students honored in this publication join the 2,419 Buckley Public Service Scholars who came before them. This impressive group includes leaders of global, local and societal change who use the talents and skills developed while at Carolina in support of the public good.
I have no doubt that they will keep changing the world in their own unique ways; for each graduate being honored, there were many others who helped foster their love of learning and service: teachers, family members, peers, service organizations, community members and many others. The lessons learned will continue to guide and inform these graduates as they pursue the next steps in their journeys as Carolina graduates.
The Buckley Public Service Scholars class of 2018 is leaving their Heel prints on the University by demonstrating and strengthening Carolina’s commitment to community involvement. As you read about their accomplishments, I think you will agree that they are an outstanding group who will continue to make Carolina proud.

38 4 39 Through my experiences in the Buckley Public Service Scholars program, I have come to understand what service truly means. I learned to measure service not by the hours I spent but rather by the impact I had; my focus became quality, not quantity of service. Giving another person even the smallest amount of joy is what I strive to achieve every day that I give to others through service. Whether it be direct or indirect, service has given me motivation in every aspect of my life. NICOLE TRUPIANO
