NCMC Celebrates International Women’s Day and Spotlights

Leader Carli Beck

In honor of International Women’s Day, North Central Missouri College spotlights Student Senate President Carli Beck. Carli is a Missouri A+ scholarship student from Gallatin, studying Elementary Education in her second year at NCMC. Carli will graduate in May with her Associate in Arts in Teaching degree and then plans to transfer to Northwest Missouri State University to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and pursue a career in education.

When asked why we celebrate International Women’s Day, Carli said, “we celebrate to recognize the accomplishments and achievements of women worldwide. As well as celebrate the difference we have made in our society.” Along with being a strong leader in her role as President of Student Senate, Carli is also involved in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, SMSTA (Student Missouri State Teacher’s Association), FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and holds positions as a Student Ambassador and an RA (residence assistant).

“Carli is a great example of the exceptional women leaders we have at NCMC,” said NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver. “Not only is she a superb Student Senate President, she also thrives in her role as a future educator. I know she will continue her path of leadership and excellence in all she accomplishes.”

When asked why she chose NCMC, Carli said, “I chose NCMC because it felt like home, and it gives a sense of community that can't be compared to, with great people and amazing opportunities.”

Her favorite class is any class with Education Instructor Cassie Cordray, and her favorite thing at NCMC is the people she has met and the friendships she has made. Carli went on to say, “NCMC has helped me get where I want to be by giving me endless opportunities and the support to reach my goals, as well as providing me with people that will guide me during my journey as a Pirate. Being able to lead and be a role model at NCMC for others is something that has truly been beneficial
