Winner of the 2018 Friends of the Dick Smith Library Scholarship

Congratulations are in order for Periodicals' student worker, Nicole Holtby, who was recently awarded the Friends' scholarship for the 2018 academic year.

Upon learning she'd received the honor, she said, "I was so shocked and surprised - and so grateful!" 

Nicole, a senior, is an accounting major originally from Thousand Oaks, California. Following graduation, she hopes to land a position with the Comptroller of the U.S. Currency Department as a bank examiner. Nicole says this will allow her to travel throughout the country before deciding where she'd like to live permanently.

She is the Secretary of the Institute of the Management Accounts (IMA) club, and Society Member Events Chair for the National Society for Leadership and Success (NSLS). Nicole also plays the violin, has an overall GPA 3.94, and has dated her boyfriend, Sterling, for five years. In her spare time, she enjoys bullet journaling, watching Netflix, and reading her favorite authors, Victoria Lawie and Ilona Andrews.

The Friends of Dick Smith Library established the scholarship benefiting the library's student workers in 2016. Donations are always welcome. 

Congrats, Nicole!
