Improving one's self to make a positive difference to others

"Making the decision to go back to school as an adult learner was a difficult one because of financial and other concerns. The Lifelong Learning Award has assisted me to change professions and follow my dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. My interests lie in community health and acute care nursing, and I hope to make a positive difference by promoting health equity and social justice in my practice. Thank you again for helping me to achieve my goal!

I would like to thank Columbia Institute for the generous scholarships granted in 2010 and 2011."
