Submitted by Michala Redeye
Carson Redeye, a Senior at Salamanca High School, has been accepted to and chosen to attend the University of Rochester for the Fall 2021 semester to study Biomedical Engineering. He received the Bausch & Lomb Honorary Science award from the University of Rochester last spring and will be applying for their scholarship. Carson has also chosen to participate in their ECO, Early Connection Opportunity program this summer. He is also involved in National Honor Society, Seneca Honor Society, and Seneca Youth Council.
Carson is kind, smart, compassionate, and has a natural knack for helping others and taking care of Mother Earth. His years of summer work for the Seneca Nation Fish & Wildlife department sparked an interest in helping others and Mother Earth. From our traditional teachings and what he has learned at the department, he found a connection between the two and it sparked a passion within him. This experience, along with his learning experience at Salamanca High School, he was able to explore different areas of study to find his interests. He found interest in math and science which led to taking higher level courses. This helped him realize he wanted to study engineering. After researching the different areas of engineering, he decided that Biomedical Engineering was the area he wanted to study. Carson wants to “create things to help others live better lives”.
Carson is the son of Michala Redeye and Chris Thomas, grandson of Arlene Bova, Charlie Redeye, Al and Laurie George, great-grandson of Kay Redeye.
He lives in Salamanca with his mother Michala, sister Paisley, brother Tanner and his older brother Darcey. Carson has played lacrosse for the Allegany Arrows since he was a little boy and the Salamanca Warriors Modified and Varsity teams. He hopes to be able to play his senior year and possibly continue with a Junior B team. He also enjoys working out, snowboarding, archery, hunting and fishing.
Ja:goh Carson!
