“I’m preparing for pre-med school.”
Felicia Robinson Associate of Science Degree
Robinson’s in good academic shape because of Edmonds Community College’s smaller class sizes, personal instruction and rigorous curriculum: “The classes here are definitely challenging.” But why did she really come to Edmonds CC? “The opportunity to play basketball.”
She decided on a career path after a knee injury: orthopedic surgeon. Robinson turned down a scholarship to a four-year school, so that she could play basketball her first two years of college. Next she’ll transfer to Seattle University.
