Mentorship by Catawba County Student Alliance
Jagger Zeidel, was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Hickory as a young child. He is currently dual enrolled at CVCC and NC State University majoring in engineering. Jagger states: CCSA is extremely important to me because I want to have a positive impact in my community. In high school I often felt misled and confused about college, in fact, I didn't even know if I was going to pursue a college degree until my senior year! I want to do my part to help high school students see that the road to college doesn't have to be scary and confusing. I want to empower them to chase their dreams.
