Delaney Janson, a volunteer at Lackey Free Clinic, was recently honored with the President's Award for community service during the 2012-13 opening convocation at the College of William and Mary.

According to a press release, Janson, a senior at the college, started volunteering at the Lackey Free Clinic in fall 2010. Since then, she has helped the volunteer resource manager oversee more than 400 volunteers and plan volunteer events, while taking pre-medical classes at William and Mary.

Janson, a resident of Pennsylvania, has shadowed medical providers and plans to follow providers into the examination rooms and transfer documents into patients' electronic medical records, otherwise known as scribing.

She hopes to one day become a physician and will apply for medical school this spring.
