Nicole Harrison will deliver the student address at the Wartburg College Commencement May 24.

Wartburg President Darrel Colson chose Harrison, who’s majoring in psychology with minors in Spanish and sociology, to give the remarks on behalf of the Class of 2015 at the ceremony beginning at 1:30 p.m. in the Hoover Fieldhouse & Track in the Wartburg-Waverly Sports & Wellness Center.

Harrison, the daughter of Sheri Vomhof and Tom Harrison, plans to pursue a master’s degree in counseling and psychological services at St. Mary’s University in her hometown of Rochester, Minnesota.

“Wartburg has provided me with countless opportunities to learn and grow with my friends, classmates and mentors,” Harrison said. She will focus her address on “all of the great things that make us thankful for our time at Wartburg.”

She is a recipient of a Dean’s Honor Cord, awarded to seniors with the top 40 cumulative GPAs, and is the outstanding senior in psychology. The lacrosse captain is president of Wartburg Ambassadors, Psi Chi honor society and Psychology Club as well a member of Students Uknight and a Dance Marathon morale captain. She also is a member of the Phi Eta Sigma honor society.

During a summer internship at Mayo Clinic, she worked in psychology and psychiatry, researching diagnosis and treatment outcomes for mental health disorders.

“It was a great opportunity that has helped me decide on the graduate program for counseling and psychological services,” Harrison said, adding that she hopes to become a clinical mental health therapist.
