Each year the Outstanding Senior Award is given to two graduating seniors who have maintained outstanding grades, shown exemplary leadership skills, and participated in volunteer work. This year Elizabeth Howald and David Velez were the recognized seniors.
Howald, who triple-majored in economics, math and anthropology and minored in Accounting says the busier she is, the better she does.
“I really love to learn, and I am the most motivated when my schedule is really full,” she said. “So throughout my time at Nevada I’ve tried to stay involved and busy. I have taken up to 29 credits a semester and have learned a lot of skills for balancing my time well.”
When she is not focusing her time on classwork, she invests most of her energy in the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, a student club on campus. In addition she has also been involved with the Entrepreneurship Club, the Anthropology Club, the Economy Club and served as president of the Economy Club and Economy Honor Society for a year.
“Being involved in clubs like Intervarsity has helped inspire me to be a great leader and example for younger students,” Howald said.
After graduation she plans to work as an intern for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship on campus for a year before moving to Bulgaria to work with underprivileged youth.
Howlad’s colleague and co-awardee, David Velez shares similar views on the perks of being involved on campus. Velez, who majored in Biology and minored in Mathematics, says his goals have big influence on his work ethic.
“My ultimate goal of becoming a physician has been what has kept me on track and focused on doing well,” he said.
In addition to being a full-time student, Velez served as the Assistant Director of Clubs and Organizations at ASUN, was a TA and dissection team leader for the anatomy lab and worked as an emergency room scribe at Renown Regional Medical Center. After all of that hard work he is proud to say he is on track to receiving yet another 4.0 this semester.
With so much on his plate, Velez never forgets to remind himself of his inspiration.
“My mother is the most kind, caring and loving person I know and my father is the strongest, most honest person that I have ever met,” he said. “My father is the man that I want to be and their strength is what inspires me.”
Velez will continue working at Renown and as a teaching assistant for the anatomy labs while he awaits his entrance into medical school next year.
