YOU BELONG AT ESU, WHERE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES HELP STUDENTS ATTEND COLLEGE, PURSUE CAREER GOALS
ESU is Where Warriors Belong, and it’s where David Akinwande belonged for his college years – which helped him land a position at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia after graduating with his degree in nursing last spring.
“ESU gave me the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and the confidence to work at one of the most prestigious children’s hospitals in the country,” said Akinwande, who credits his relationship with ESU’s faculty and his classmates which helped him on his journey. A member of ESU’s football program, president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and a recipient of several scholarships, he helped administer vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, was a tutor and presented at an honors society event. He’s sure to be a Warrior for life. And you can join him at wherewarriorsbelong.com.
