2018
I am Chelsea Johnson, this year’s recipient of the Friends of Norris Lake Scholarship. I am just starting my first semester at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, majoring in biological sciences. While I am not sure of my exact career path at this time, I am hopeful to give back to my community by being a contributing member of the medical field. “Thank you” is not strong enough to convey my appreciation for being selected for this life-changing opportunity. Your investment in Campbell County will surely not only benefit my generation, but future generations to follow.
2017
I am Sydney Fields, recipient of The Friends of Norris Lake Scholarship. Currently, I have begun my sophomore year at East Tennessee State University and am in the process of completing a degree in pharmacy studies. ETSU offers an articulated degree program in pharmacy studies wherein a student who begins the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program without an existing Baccalaureate degree can earn a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy Studies. I currently hold a 3.8 GPA and am a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS). I am involved in the Pre- Pharmacy Student Organization (PPSO) and I also participate in a program at Johnson City Medical Center that provides an opportunity to shadow clinical, inpatient, and emergency medicine pharmacists. As my sophomore year comes to a close, in the spring I will apply early to ETSU’s Gatton College of Pharmacy where I will receive a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. In the future, I would love to work as a clinical pharmacist in a healthcare setting where I am able to work with the public by utilizing pharmacology to promote health, wellness, and disease prevention.
2017
I am Caitlin Ivey, and am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Biology, STEM Education at UTC. This degree involves several general biology courses and education courses centered around teaching math and science. By the end of my program, I will hopefully earn my teacher’s license. In the future, I hope to teach high school biology, especially Advanced Placement biology in later years. I would love to stay near Chattanooga during that time. I also aim to go to graduate school and further my education of biology after getting some teaching experience. I’m excited about the future and all the opportunities it holds,
especially in educating others.
2016
I am Logan Stanfield, a marketing major at Carson-Newman University, and I am beginning my junior year. After graduating with my Bachelor of Science degree, I would like to pursue a job with Pilot Flying-J or possibly Y-12 National Security Complex. The Friends of Norris Lake Scholarship has been such a blessing to me, as it has alleviated some of the financial worry I have about funding my education. God bless each of you for helping me along with my journey to be the first in my family to earn a college degree.
2016
My name is Garrett Orick, I’m currently a Junior with a major in Nutrition and a minor in both biology and political science. I am also pre-med and will be taking the MCAT in January. I’m currently serving my second term as an Undergraduate Student Senator and am also serving as Lobbyist in the Senate Executive Committee and Chair on the Student Senate Committee on Academics.
I’m also a member of the Dean of Student’s Rockytop Roundtable and an Ambassador for the college of Education, Health, and Human Sciences. I was also recently chosen to be a Leadership Knoxville Scholar and am participating in the Servant Leadership course this Fall. This scholarship has allowed me to really explore my passions instead of constantly working. If it wasn’t for this scholarships help, I am sure that I wouldn’t have been able to participate in as many leadership positions as I am able to now.
I really appreciate everything this scholarship has done for me, and because of it
I’m excited to be able to give back someday on my own.

Thank you very much.
