Clark College Student Life

Welcome to summer 2026 Clark students!!!

Here are some resources for this week and next ....

Congratulations, Camille!!! We are so proud of your and all that you have accomplished and given to the students of Clark this year as an Activities Programming Board student leader.

Camille Villanueva is the 2026 Presidential Scholarship Winner!🏆

This award is given to a high-achieving student who has completed their studies at Clark College and is transferring to a four-year institution. The recipient is awarded the equivalent of two years of in-state tuition of $15,000 to complete their bachelor’s degree. This year’s Presidential Award scholarship is generously funded by the Clark College Foundation

Camille's Story:

When Camille moved from the Philippines to the United States, she did so at the encouragement of her grandfather, a member of Clark’s facilities team. He wanted his granddaughter to have a future where anything is possible. It was also her grandfather who first suggested electrical engineering after she showed a talent for math.

At Clark, Camille navigated the challenges of learning in her second language while entering a field where women are often underrepresented. In one of her computer science classes, she was the only woman, and she worried she would be underestimated. But her confidence grew as she excelled academically, earning the highest score in her class on her midterm exam. Through MESA, she connected with other women in STEM and found inspiration to become an advocate for future generations. Outside the classroom, Camille served as an Activities Programming Board events coordinator and volunteered at the Penguin Pantry.

She said in her application: “My interest in power started in junior high school when I made a lamp using recycled bottles, a battery, and a bulb. Since then, I’ve wanted to learn more about how things work and how I can make life easier for people.”

Inspired by her grandfather, who is hard of hearing, Camille hopes to use engineering to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Tonight, she graduates with an AS in Electrical Engineering and will continue her studies at WSU–Vancouver.

Congratulations, Camille!
