The 2010 William S. Thomson Scholarship winner - Craig Folcik...

The William S. Thomson scholarship is awarded annually to an undergraduate/graduate student who was previously a  Rotary Club of Southington Scholarship recipient as a senior in high school. This year’s $3,500 scholarship is awarded to Craig Folcik:

Craig graduated with honors from Southington High School. He will be entering his senior year at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing where he is a member of Sigma Theta Tao, an international nursing honor society, and The Student Nurse Association at UConn. Craig is  also a member of the
Urban Service Tract, an organization that brings medical, dental, pharmacy and nursing students to areas that are underserved. This past year he and 9 other students raised $6,000 and volunteered during spring break to build houses with the Christian Appalachian Project. Learning the culture and far different life-styles of those that live in Appalachia inspired Craig to reach out to the needy. This semester he will be studying his medical/surgical and psychiatric rotations in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is currently studying Latin American Spanish in hopes to be able to understand the life-style of and serve the people of Puerto Rico better as they use American hospitals, diminishing the burdens of the language barrier.  Craig also has many extra curricular activities such as Gospel Choir, HuskyTHON Dance Class, Community School of the Arts and a student leader for St. Thomas Church. He is truly honored to be the recipient of the William S. Thomson Memorial Scholarship.

Our 2009 William S. Thomson Scholar- Nicole Archambault...

The William S. Thomson scholarship is awarded annually to an undergraduate/graduate student who was a previous Rotary Club of Southington Scholarship recipient as a senior in high school. The 2009 scholarship will be awarded to Nicole Achambault. Nicole was a 2006 graduate of Southington High School and the recipient of one of our Rotary Club of Southington Scholarships that year. Nicole is now a rising senior at the Bryant University, where she pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a double concentration in finance and management and a minor in sociology.

Nicole Archambault with Ellie Thomson
At Bryant, I am active in the Honors Program. I belong to three Bryant University Chapters of national honor societies including Alpha Kappa Delta, the National Sociology Honorary; Omicron Delta Kappa, the National Leadership Honor Society; and Beta Gamma Sigma, an honor society serving select business school programs, in which I serve as the Student Vice President. In addition, I am a participant in the Archway Investment Fund, a program for select finance majors. Aside from academics, I am a Student Ambassador, a member of the Leadership Council, current President of Colleges Against Cancer, and former Director of Bryant’s Relay for Life in 2008. I spent two years working on campus as a manager within Bryant’s student union. In my final year, I will take on a new job title as an Admissions Fellow, where I will be responsible for interviewing Bryant’s prospective students.

I have been fortunate enough to embrace these incredible opportunities at school through the support and guidance of my parents, Darylanne and Rey Archambault, and my older brother, Ryan.
