Nichole McKinley
LAKELAND,
FL (April 30, 2008) - The University of South Florida Lakeland has announced that Nichole McKinley will receive the King O'Neal Scholar Award. Presented each semester by the Alumni Association in honor of charter graduates Lucas King and Evelyn O'Neal, the award recognizes graduating seniors with the highest cumulative grade point average, 4.0.
McKinley will be recognized onstage during USF Lakeland's spring commencement May 5 at 7 p.m. in the Lakeland Center's Youkey Theatre. She will also receive a certificate of accomplishment, a gold medallion of the university seal and individual recognition during the commencement. .
A Lake Wales resident, McKinley earned an associate's degree from PCC. She will graduate with a bachelor's degree in elementary education from USF Lakeland. She worked for 15 years as a court reporter, legal secretary and office manager, and says volunteering in her children's schools motivated her to earn a degree and become a teacher. She completed her studies at USF Lakeland's elementary education program offered at South Florida Community College in Avon Park.
