Outstanding Women at USC Celebration

This annual celebration in March recognizes The Outstanding Woman of the Year at USC-Columbia and the finalists for the award. This award was established to recognize women for their academic, service, leadership, and co-curricular accomplishments. In addition we recognize participants in the Women's Mentor Network. This program pairs undergraduate women with a faculty, staff, or graduate student who serves as their personal mentor for an academic year. Applications for the 2009 Outstanding Woman of the Year will be available in January.
 


Picture 018Text Box: On Thursday March 20, the Outstanding Woman of the Year was announced at the Outstanding Women at USC Celebration.  This award was established to recognize undergraduate women for their academic, service, leadership, and co-curricular accomplishments. This year’s recipient is Tara Scheidt.
 
Tara is a junior international business and economics major in the University of South Carolina’s Honor’s college.  She is a Copper Scholar, The Retired Enlisted Association Scholar Recipient, a member of several honor societies including Alpha Lambda Delta and the Honor’s Council, and was selected as one of fifty nominated students for the Moore School of Business Leadership Recognition Program.  Tara has committed to leaving her mark in  a bold way at Carolina by immersing herself in a vast array of leadership roles by serving as the President of the Global Business Council, a Finance Tutor, and competing with the USAV women’s club volleyball team.  She is a compassionate and dedicated individual, which demonstrated through her leadership in the Carolina Service Council and the Hurricane Katrina Relief Trip.  In order to prepare for her career in the international finance industry, Tara has studied abroad in Germany and Costa Rica, and plans to return to Germany and study in Bamburg for her senior year.
