Student Spotlight
"In my involvement as a Clarendon, Mío intern, and involvement in administration, my purpose developed into helping others and pursuing a nursing career. Clarendon provided me with incredible mentors who encouraged and nurtured my passion to follow God’s path, and a strong community of believers that played a large part in my college experience as well as helping me grow closer to God and His plan for my life. I look forward to moving into the nursing world, knowing that the Clarendon program has equipped me to accomplish this path where God has placed me."
— Emanuela Silva Kinesiology (pre-nursing concentration)
