The Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Honorary nominated senior Caroline Green to be leader of the month, thanks to her academic achievement, superior leadership skills, and exceptional character.
“The ODK Leader of the Month award exists to recognize and encourage leaders who make an enormous impact on campus but sometimes fly under the radar,” ODK President Sam Ryskamp said. “Caroline Green is exactly the kind of person who the award seeks to recognize. We look for three things: academic achievement, extracurricular leadership, but most importantly we look for men and women of character.”
Green, who is an economics and Spanish double major, did not expect to be nominated, and almost didn’t believe it at first.
“I didn’t know I was being picked until I read the email — Annie Teigen texted me and said, ‘You’re famous!’ and I thought ‘Oh no,’ because I thought I was being pranked,” Green said. “Then I saw the email and I was so honored. My parents called me and said nice things. It felt like my birthday.”
Green’s many achievements include holding two offices in Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, leading a bible study, and serving as an resident assistant in the Paul House for one semester.
“Caroline Green has been a good friend of mine since freshman year and she has personally encouraged and inspired me in many ways,” Ryskamp said. “It’s awesome to see her receive some recognition.”
