Meet UAlbany Honors College Student Andersen Vaughan

The Barnes and Noble Achievers Scholarship

  • Vaughan, setter for UAlbany’s volleyball team, says she and her fellow athletes “are like family. And our coaches care so much about us.”
     
  • The Virginia native has two sisters and one brother. She describes herself as “competitive” – a trait she says she inherited from her dad.
     
  • Her intended majors are psychology and criminal justice. Vaughan, a “Criminal Minds” fan who loves watching people, wants to become an FBI behavioral analyst.
     
  • Vaughan, who says her professors and classes are “awesome,” will take her first courses next fall at the School of Criminal Justice, ranked “No. 2 in the nation!”
     
  • The Barnes and Noble Achievers Scholarship she received “makes me even more committed to academics and athletics.”
     
  • When she needs some quiet time, Vaughan enjoys strolling the Indian Pond trail and gazing at “the trees, and the little chipmunks running there. It’s a secret gem.”
