St. Kitts Senior Named Circle Leader of the Year
PLATTSBURGH, NY __ She might be considered an over-achiever. Azilla Clark, a senior
social work and political science major from St. Kitts, was recently named Omicron
Delta Kappa's Circle Leader of the Year at the State University of New York College
Plattsburgh. She'll now go on to compete for the Province Leader of the Year, and
if she succeeds, it's on to compete for the ODK National Circle Leader honor.
"It was a great honor to be recognized," said Clark, who plans to graduate a year
from May and go on to graduate school. "It's a resume builder. The highly recognized
honor will show future employers and graduate schools that I was involved on campus
and just didn't take classes and study all the time."
Clark is a second semester resident assistant in Whiteface Hall and the vice president of organizations for the Student Association. She is also a member of Phi Eta Sigma, the freshman honor society; Phi Sigma Alpha, the political science honor society; Phi Kappa Phi, the all-academic honor society; as well as ODK, the national leadership honor society.
"A good leader involves others," said Clark. "You're only as good as the persons around you. You have to delegate and give others an opportunity to shine."
