Evan Grant ’20 reflects on scholarship, leadership, service and character
Evan Grant is a Park Scholar in the Class of 2020 studying mechanical engineering with a minor in art and design. He is originally from Sylva, North Carolina, and serves as a class liaison and co-chair of the Class of 2020 Distinguished Speakers Committee.
Since coming to NC State, the Park Scholarships program has provided me the resources to participate in experiences that would otherwise be unattainable and its emphasis on leadership training and character development has helped me become a more effective leader who accommodates many perspectives.
Service
One of my most profound service experiences stemmed from my Civic Engagement Initiative (CEI), a year-long service project that forms a core component of the Park Scholarships program. Coming into sophomore year, I had expected to take on a CEI that aligned with my more technical interests like energy or housing.
