GEICO Alumni Showcase: Carter Kennedy
As the 2020 Major League Baseball season commences with Spring Training, former UNC Asheville volleyball student-athlete Carter Kennedy -- the school's lone December graduate from athletics, is profiled on starting her first job with the Cincinnati Reds.

December commencement had a bit of a different feel this year for UNC Asheville’s athletics department, as only one student-athlete walked across the stage to shake Chancellor Nancy J. Cable’s hand.
Generally speaking, a larger group of student-athletes will graduate in May, but there are still usually a handful who earn their diplomas before the holiday break. Normally, there are a few more names in this story listing all of the fall graduates, but we’ll just focus on our lone graduate, and what an outstanding representative of UNC Asheville she has turned out to be.
Carter Kennedy, a four-year setter on the Bulldog Volleyball team, graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in New Media, graduating with distinction. Kennedy realized in middle school she had a knack for graphic design and began taking classes to hone her skills in high school.
