ROCHESTER -- Cody Willmart, son of Neil Willmart of Potsdam, and Kelly Willmart of Potsdam, was recently named a 2010-2011 Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Cody, an industrial engineering and engineering management major, is a graduate of Potsdam High School.

Outstanding Undergraduate Scholarship Awards are presented to students who have achieved the distinction of maintaining a minimum university grade point average of 3.85 out of a possible 4.0 and completed at least 125 quarter credit hours of study, nearly two-thirds of the credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree.

Selection is also based on other factors complementing academic achievement, such as creative work, service on student committees, civic activities, employment and independent research.

Each RIT scholar receives a bronze medallion representing the traditional symbols for wisdom and respect-the Athenian owl and the olive branch.
