PictureAudrey Simpson
Ursinus College
“It is a privilege to receive this award. I am grateful and honored to have been selected among the many applicants.”
 
Audrey Simpson is a sophomore at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania where she is pursing a dual major of biochemistry and dance.
 
In college, Simpson is a member of the Escape Velocity Dance Troupe, the Ursinus College Dance Company, track and field and the Brownback Anders Premedical Society. She volunteered as a Ursinus College Ambassador.
 
In her essay, she wrote that watching her grandfather’s health deteriorate from cancer, helped her decide to study biochemistry.
 
“I never wanted to feel helpless in this situation again, so there in the hospital I confirmed my thoughts to enter the medical field so that I could take action and help those in need,” she wrote. “As a pathologist, I can study the development of diseases and work with patients to assist them in their battles and hopefully cure them.”
 
She is the daughter of Michael Simpson, who works for Sheetz, Inc.
