VALDOSTA — Ellie Grace Wentworth of Alpharetta, Georgia, is the recipient of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ’s 2025-2026 College of Nursing and Health Sciences Outstanding Senior Sciences Award.
The College of Nursing and Health Sciences Outstanding Senior Sciences Award is presented to a student with a record of academic excellence and distinguished service inside and outside the classroom.
Wentworth graduated May 9 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology and a Minor in Nutritional Science. She plans to pursue a career as a strength and conditioning coach at a private facility in Valdosta.
“My time at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has been life-changing, shaping me into who I am today,” she said. “It has required a lot of hard work, but I’ve gained many friendships and opportunities along the way. I will miss the community I’ve made these past four years, but I know these relationships will last a lifetime.”
As an undergraduate student at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, Wentworth completed the requirements to become an American College of Sports Medicine-certified exercise physiologist and served as a strength and conditioning intern with Blazer Athletics. She volunteered with Church House Valdosta and was an active member of Awakening Collegiate Fellowship, a Valdosta college ministry where she served as a connect and media intern and as president.
Her commitment to academic, leadership, and service excellence resulted in her earning the Spring 2026 President’s Award for Academic Excellence for the College of Nursing and Health Sciences as well as Dean’s List honors every semester. She was a Zell Miller Scholar.
