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 2003 semester 210 Wolfpack Student Athletes achieved a semester GPA of 3.00 or higher and 107 student-athletes were Dean's List honorees.
This month Caterpillar and NC State are proud to honor volleyball's Amy Cochran and football's Robby Ritcher.

Furthermore, this English major had a stellar freshman year in the classroom. Amy achieved a 4.00 Total Grade Point Average. She also made the ACC Honor Roll and was named to the NC State Dean's List each semester.
