Meet Hayley Hento, Vice President  

BSN fast-track student, Junior  

Hometown: Avon, S.D. 

Why did you choose Clarkson College?  

I wanted to get out of small town living and experience "city" life! I also wanted to be educated within large hospitals to increase my knowledge and experience before graduating and working as a real nurse. 

Why did you choose your major?  

I wanted to commit my life to helping others, and nursing is one of the greatest professions to allow me to do just that!  

What are some of your interests (hobbies, leisurely activities, etc.)? 

I enjoy sleeping, coffee, jogging, playing pretty much any and every sport, scrapbooking, reading fiction, and hanging out with family and friends. 

What is the best part of living on campus?  

Only having to walk 10 feet outside to get to my classes during the winter. 

What would you like to accomplish in the Residence Hall Council (RHC) this year?  

I would like to make the Residence Hall more sociable. I really would like to meet and know everyone on all the floors. As a council, we hope to do just that throughout the year!  

Meet Lori Haney, Secretary 

BSN student, Sophomore  

Hometown: Council Bluffs, Iowa 

Why did you choose Clarkson College?  

I chose Clarkson College because it was near my family and friends. I really enjoyed my visit and believe they fully prepare their students for the field of nursing. 

Why did you choose your major?  

I have always loved helping others, and nursing has been a goal of mine since high school. 

What are some of your interests (hobbies, leisurely activities, etc.)? 

I love to listen to music, watch movies, hang out with my friends and sleep.  

What is the best part of living on campus?  

The best part about living on campus is that you have the opportunity to meet diverse individuals that you may have never met in the classroom setting, you are able to sleep in and have a parking place - guaranteed.  

What would you like to accomplish in the Residence Hall Council (RHC) this year?  

A goal I have for the RHC is to offer each resident a chance to voice their opinions and to create activities that all residents can participate in.   

Meet Brittney Dick, Treasurer 

BSN student, Sophomore 

Hometown: Beloit, Kan.  

Why did you choose Clarkson College?  

I choose Clarkson College because it is a hands-on learning educational environment. I am a big fan of small class sizes, and Clarkson College was a better fit for me than anywhere else. 

Why did you choose your major?  

The medical field has always been a dream job for me. I have wanted to be a doctor or a hospital administrator to follow my dad's footsteps. As I grew older, I learned more about the role of nurses and began to fall in love with the position. Nursing is a field where I can be myself and care for someone. It is not a job I picked for salary; I choose to become a nurse because I can help someone.   

What are some of your interests (hobbies, leisurely activities, etc.)? 

Some of my interests are tennis, football, poems and definitely music. 

What is the best part of living on campus?  

The best thing about living on campus is how close I am to the College. It only takes me about three minutes to get to class.   

What would you like to accomplish in the Residence Hall Council (RHC) this year?  

I would like to accomplish more activities to bring the residents together and make the residents feel like family.
