Early in the awards process, college leaders noticed NCIN scholars’ enthusiasm for and commitment to nursing and their interest in becoming leaders. Several scholars worked in the United Community Clinic— a student-staffed health clinic for people of all ages and ethnicities that offers health screenings, physical examinations, counseling, and other services. NCIN scholars with athletic interests moved beyond the campus to coach and mentor youth in nearby communities. In general, NCIN students were active in the school and joined a range of groups and committees, often assuming leadership roles.
