Mallory Carter '13 |

For Randolph-Macon College student
Mallory Carter ’13, playing
volleyball for the Yellow Jackets is a dream come true.
“One of my lifelong goals was to play college volleyball,” she says. “I was recruited as an outside hitter for the Yellow Jackets, and after meeting the coaches and players, I knew this was where I wanted to be.”
Carter, who was the 2012 ODAC Player of the Year, is the only two-time All-American in the program’s history. The three-time All-ODAC selection has played for the Jackets since her freshman year, and she has served as team captain for three years. The Richmond
Times-Dispatch recently featured a story about Carter’s prowess on the volleyball court.
Carter, a
psychology major, says that Randolph-Macon offers students unlimited opportunities.
“I serve as an officer in my
sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta; I work part-time at a daycare center in the off-season; and I have wonderful friends,” says the Moseley, Virginia native. “I have grown so much since my freshman year and I have R-MC to thank for that. I am really thrilled that I was recently accepted into Rho Lambda, the National Sorority Leadership Recognition Society.” Rho Lambda honors those women within the sorority community who have exhibited the highest qualities of
leadership and service to their Greek community and their sorority.
Carter looks forward to participating in a
January Term internship in 2013. She will be working in the Guidance Department of Hanover County Public Schools. The internship was arranged through R-MC’s
Bassett Internship program.
“Psychology Professor Robert Resnick arranged the internship for me,” says Carter. “This internship will help me gain insight into the world of helping other people, which is my lifelong goal.”
As for future plans, Carter says her post-R-MC game plan is still in the works. She plans to continue her education and is considering several options.
“I would like to stay in the area—either University of Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth University, or William & Mary,” she says. “I enjoy working with young people and I think I am well-suited for a service-related role. Ultimately I’d like to have a career in teaching, nursing, or education psychology.”
