LTCC launches scholarship in Carl Young’s name

Lake Tahoe Community College has started a scholarship in honor of a former instructor who passed away in late May. The Carl Young Memorial Earth Science Scholarship is being established to honor the meteorology teacher, who died when he and two colleagues were chasing tornadoes just outside Oklahoma City.

This Earth Science scholarship will be the first of its kind at LTCC.

In addition to being a popular and respected teacher, Young also received the Distinguished Alumni Award from LTCC in 2010 for his accomplishments in his field and his impact on the Tahoe region. He was also a former program manager at the League to Save Lake Tahoe/
