Edison Student Wins National Honor Award

Edison Community College medical lab technician student Veronica Lukey has been selected to receive the National Student Honor Award from the American Society for Clinical Pathology.

Lukey, who will graduate this spring with an associate of applied science degree, graduated from Houston High School and attended the Upper Valley JVS. She started taking classes at Edison in January of 2009 after losing the factory job she had held for five years.

Her hard work and determination have paid off, and she now plans to continue her education through the University of Cincinnati’s clinical laboratory sciences online program.

“The support of the faculty at Edison has been great. If you needed anything, they’re there for you,” said Lukey. “I would eventually like to work my way up at a hospital to become a supervisor.”

Lukey was nominated for the award by Edison assistant professor of medical assisting and lab technology Kathy Gehret.

“Veronica is a very enthusiastic medical laboratory technology student who loves everything about laboratory science,” said Lukey. “Her enthusiasm inspires her fellow students as well as her future colleagues in the field who are currently her instructors at the clinical sites. I know that my laboratory results will be accurate with Veronica in the laboratory.”

Following graduation, Lukey said she’ll be applying to Wilson Memorial Hospital in Sidney while she works on her bachelor’s degree.

The American Society for Clinical Laboratory Pathologists established the National Student Honor Award to recognize students in the laboratory profession who demonstrate academic excellence and a commitment to community service and leadership activities.
