BS ’05PA ’07Lindsay OlsenHaving already earned a degree in biology in 2005, Lindsay Olsen walkedacross the stage of Kleinhan’s Music Hall to receive a second bachelor’sdegree in 2007. This time she received a degree as a physician assistant.She decided to pursue the second degree because she sees the career asone in which she is solely responsible for the care of a patient. She alsoenjoys the interaction with the physicians that this role requires.Lindsay is one who clearly understands what being a responsible personrequires.Even as a high school student at Dunkirk High she was involved and incharge of the situation. She was president of the student council, cheerleaderand member of the diving team. In addition, she took dance, piano andflute lessons. She was also an altar server at her parish in Dunkirk.Throughout her five years at D’Youville, whilemaintaining Dean’s List status, she workedseveral different jobs to meet her financialresponsibilities. She was a Sabres Girl doingpromotional appearances for the Buffalo team.She was a Buffalo Bandit cheerleader for twoyears. Currently, she works in a restaurant. This,however, was in addition to being an activeparticipant in campus activities. She was presidentof Lambda Sigma, the sophomore honor society;she served as treasurer of the resident council; shewas a member of the Campus Ministry club; andshe was a member of the biology club.In her spare time, she did phoning for the LoyaltyFund. Because of her diligence, dedication andsense of responsibility, she became a phonathonsupervisor. To ensure that the D’Youvilleswimming pool would be available, she workedas a lifeguard. Clearly her D’Youville yearshave been action packed with many and variedinvolvements.Not content with merely being heavily involvedin campus activities, Lindsay moved out into thecommunity to deliver for Meals on Wheels. Sheworked for Habitat for Humanity and made JaredBoxes to raise money for the children who arecancer patients at Roswell Park Institute.Lindsay’s opting to attend D’Youville wascontinuing a tradition begun when her motherCheryl Zboch Olsen enrolled in the nursing program in 1969 and thengraduated in 1973. Lindsay’s aunt, Bonnie Zboch Schneider graduatedin 1965; Bonnie’s daughter, Kimberly Schneider Lynch, graduated in1989. And so the family tradition continued when Lindsay began thematriculation process as a freshman in 2002.Lindsay Olsen came to D’Youville imbued with a strong work ethic anda keen awareness of her reason for coming. It is no wonder that she hashad an excellent experience at D’Youville and that as she presents herselfto the community in her professional role she will do credit to herself, herfamily, the College and the profession she represents.•24
