BHS Student Accepted to UNC-CH Robertson Scholars Leadership Program
Brevard High School student Lillian “Lilly” Smith has been invited to join the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program’s class of 2027, pending the extension of an offer of admission from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Robertson Scholars Program is a joint undergraduate merit scholarship and leadership program between Chapel Hill and Duke University. Eighteen students are admitted as Robertson Scholars each year on each campus. The Program provides eight semesters of full tuition, room and board, and most mandatory fees for scholars. Its mission is to invest in young leaders who strive to make transformational contributions to society. In addition to providing a full scholarship, the program offers full academic freedom across the two renowned universities, tailored U.S. and international summer opportunities, and specialized leadership and personal development programs throughout the academic year. Congratulations, Lilly!

March is Students@Work Month
Governor Cooper has declared March 2023 as Students@Work Month in North Carolina (see attached proclamation). Students@Work gives public school students the chance to connect classroom learning with careers they may choose to explore in the future. Hundreds of North Carolina businesses are helping to expand perspectives for future job seekers in areas such as energy production, health care, hospitality, finance, skilled trades, manufacturing, communications, technology, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, education, public service, and more. The North Carolina Business Committee for Education (NCBCE) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) are the primary partners for the Students@Work program, now in its 13th year.
