Carter Quirk

Rayna Downing

By Christian Hunt – In early April, Jewell students Carter Quirk and Rayna Downing successfully defended their Honors Projects to the Honor’s Committee consisting of 5 faculty members who questioned them and required them to defend their premise and research. Carter’s project identified strategies for entrepreneurial success and the role of startups in the global marketplace, while Rayna’s project concerned employee motivation. Due to their successful defenses, Carter and Rayna are able to use their projects on applications for graduate school.
