An Allen Scholar while at Randolph-Macon College, Summers excelled in academics. She was inducted into the
Phi Beta Kappa honor society. She was also inducted into the international psychology honor society, Psi Chi, and was awarded the Psi Chi Award for Academic Excellence for having the highest GPA in the major. Summers also had the opportunity to study in Italy during
R-MC’s January Term and completed two group research studies on racial issues.
Summers
transferred to Randolph-Macon in 2008 after graduating from J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC), where she earned associate degrees in business administration, liberal arts, and social science. At JSRCC, she served as president of the Student Council Association, represented JSRCC on the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) Student Advisory Council, and was chosen to be their graduation speaker.
Summers says she is very proud of her college experience. Another major accomplishment for her was becoming a U.S. citizen, as she took the oath during a ceremony on Monday, May 16, 2011.
Summers will attend The College of William & Mary to pursue a master’s degree in higher education administration.
