Ireayooluwa Otoki Honored by Hartwick College

Ireayooluwa Otoki '26 of Ibadan, Nigeria, was presented with two awards during the College's Honors Convocation held on April 30.

Otoki was awarded the E. Perrie Saxton '53 Scholarship. Established by the family and friends of Edna "Perrie" Perrine Saxton '53, a former nursing professor and department chair, the scholarship supports a rising junior or senior nursing student in either the three- or four-year degree program who demonstrates academic excellence and a commitment to improving community health.

Additionally, Otoki received The Edith M. Lacey Memorial Nursing Scholarship. Established to memorialize Lacey, founder of the Hartwick nursing program and its director for nearly 18 years, the scholarship goes to a junior nursing student with demonstrated academic achievement and abilities (promise as a future nurse), personal deportment and other outstanding characteristics.
