Colleen Carpenter '21: Peggy Cadd Award for Service in the Arts; Outstanding Vocalist

Colleen Carpenter ’21, a senior from Sequim, Wash., has received Pacific University’s Peggy Cadd Award for Service in the Arts. The award is named in memory of late Pacific employee Peggy Cadd.

Carpenter also was one of two graduating seniors to receive the Outstanding Vocalist award. Jaclyn Marchioro also was named an Outstanding Vocalist. 

Carpenter earned a bachelor of arts in music with an emphasis in performance in May 2021. She also was a member of Theta Nu Alpha, the Pacific Undergraduate Greek Senate, and the Music Club. 

The music performance program builds upon studies in music theory and analysis, music history and performance opportunities in both classical and jazz idioms. Students in the program spend their time rehearsing and practicing for the many performance opportunities at Pacific University. Ensemble participation and solo recitals are essential parts of the plan of study.
