He began his career with WSET in 1983 after working four years at WBTM/WAKG Radio in Danville. He grew up in Danville, graduating from George Washington High School, Danville Community College and Virginia Tech.

Over the years, Carter has covered major local and national sports stories, including Virginia Tech's Sugar Bowl National Championship Game against Florida State in January, 2000, the Daytona 500, NCAA and ACC Basketball Tournaments, and state high school championships in a variety of sports. Carter has been honored numerous times by both the Virginia Associated Press Broadcasters (AP) and the Virginia Association of Broadcasters (VAB) for outstanding sports coverage. ABC 13 Sports earned both the Virginia AP and VAB awards in 2014.

In 2007, he was honored by the Lynchburg Area Sports Hall of Fame with the Calvin Porter Award for outstanding coverage of area sports. He's also a past recipient of the Marshall Johnson Award for standout coverage of high school sports in the state. Most recently, Carter was inducted into the Amherst County Sports Hall of Fame and the Danville Community College Sports Hall of Fame. He works closely with the Subway Commonwealth Games each year and stays active in Central Virginia with volunteer work, including Virginia Special Olympics.

When he's not covering sports, he enjoys playing them, especially tennis and golf, including Putt-Putt. He and his wife Regina, have one son.

Graduation TraditionsAcademic Procession and Regalia

The academic procession is steeped in a long tradition dating back to the Middle Ages when students and scholars marched in ceremonies whenever a student accomplished his course of study. Traditionally, the graduation marshal is the most senior member of the faculty. Today, we have only one ceremony for graduates, but we wear regalia similar to those worn in the Middle Ages. Professors and students studied in poorly heated buildings, so long, warm robes and hoods were very useful. The distinctive hoods and doctoral robes were used to set the faculty apart from the students. These were worn every day at most colleges and universities until the 1860s.

Traditionally, undergraduates wear only the black robes. Bachelor’s and master’s hoods have the colors of the university which awarded the degree on the inside. The color border which represents the teaching field is around the edge of the hood. The bachelor’s and master’s hoods are similar except the master’s sleeves are fuller. The doctoral hoods are longer and the bands of colors wider. The doctoral robes may be black or a color that the university designates. The robes also have velvet in the front from hem to neck, and three bands of velvet on the sleeves -- the velvet bands are in the color of the teaching field or may be black. Certain universities use a tam instead of the traditional mortarboard, but all people with doctorates wear a gold tassel.

Faculty marshals traditionally wear a sash to distinguish them from the rest of the participants.

Colors of Teaching Fields

The MaceThe mace of silver and walnut has its history in antiquity, first as a weapon, then as a symbol of royalty and a sign of

authority. The mace, a club-like staff, is now traditionally carried by the Faculty Marshal as a symbol of the professor’s role and preeminence at modern institutions of higher education. The mace recognizes DCC’s beginnings, as Danville Textile School (1936 - 1941), Danville Technical Institute (1941-1967) and the Danville Branch of Virginia Tech (1946 - 1968) -- these names are inscribed on the bands. The silver figure at the top carries the torch of knowledge.

The mace is to be carried by the Faculty Marshal at each ceremony in which academic regalia is present.
