Caterpillar is proud to partner with NC State to present a program that honors the achievements of our student-athletes in the classrooms as well as on the playing fields. Each month two Wolfpack Scholar athletes will be selected as a member of the Caterpillar Scholar Athlete team. To be named to the Caterpillar Scholar Athlete team, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.00 GPA for at least one semester and be a full-time student at NC State.
During the Spring 2002 semester 192 Wolfpack Student Athletes achieved a semester GPA of 3.00 or higher and 99 student-athletes were Dean's List honorees.
This month Caterpillar and NC State are proud to honor Junior Men's Swimming team member, Jorge Gutierrez and Sophomore Women's Tennis player, Taylor Parker.
