Robyn Horstmann: President's Platinum Scholarship Recipient

 

          Robyn Horstmann is a nursing student, Clarkson College resident and a recipient of the President's Platinum Scholarship.

"I think it means my hard work in high school paid off," said Horstmann. "I think if it would have been a lesser scholarship, I wouldn't have been able to go here."

          Horstmann explains she chose Clarkson [College] because she liked the atmosphere.

"I wanted to be in a city and Clarkson [College] is a small community within a big city," Horstmann said. "They throw you into clinicals right away where other schools you have to wait until your second and third year. I like the dorms! The rooms are awesome!"

She also values the living arrangements.

"I like that I have my own room. I need so much privacy," Horstmann said. "I like the location. I leave five minutes before class and I'm still on time."

In addition to being a Clarkson College work study she is also a volunteer at Pinewood Elementary and at the Owens Educational Institute.

"I've gained an understanding of different types of people understanding and tolerance," Horstmann said.
