Central Lakes College Medical Assistant student Erika Knutson was recently named a scholarship recipient from the Minnesota Society of Medical Assistants.
Knutson, from Staples, is one of three scholarship winners to receive a $1,000 award to go toward school expenses.
"Erika has been an excellent student, both in her academics and hands-on skills. She is dependable, self-motivated and conscientious in everything she does," said Dawn Michel, medical assistant program director/instructor, in a news release. "She is respectful to her peers, as well as staff and faculty at the college. Erika always comes to class prepared. She works with other students as a peer tutor in study groups and displays teamwork in the classroom."
