THIS IS MY SPLASH “I wake up every day at 6 a.m. raring to make a mark on my community. I’m advocating for Bright Futures scholarship expansion and helping juvenile offenders readjust to society. As a leader, I have to be a visionary who sees change and fights for it.” Kishane Patel ’18 political science
“R.A. Orientation Leader. Sorority sister. Volunteer. Future youngest mayor of Pensacola. I have a passion for lifting up others’ voices and moving them toward their goals. The more involved I am, the more people I help.” Mackenzie Simmons ’19 communications
“My dream is to be an orthopedic surgeon. So I push myself to my limits – starting on campus as a TRiO Council member, SGA senator, Orientation Leader, an EMT program participant, and an intern at multiple hospitals.” D’Mario Edgecombe ’20 biomedical science
“I’ve always been a hard worker. I’m a National Merit Scholar Finalist. I earned a full scholarship to UWF. I’ve chosen one of the most challenging fields to study – mechanical engineering. And I’m not stopping until I’m an aerospace engineer for Boeing.” Diana Hanks ’21 mechanical engineering
“I have won five national championships; hold the NCAA records in the 100 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, and 100 fly; and I’m a German Olympian and record-holder. But when I came to UWF, I didn’t want to swim – I was burnt out. I found coaches and teammates who made me want to compete again.”
“Splash is all about doing things that change and define who you are. Since I started my journey at UWF, I’ve had the opportunity to become a Student Admissions Representative, a Student Ambassador, and a STEM Chief for the National Flight Academy.” Ayanna Robinson ’18 public relations & sociology
