Ryan Zink knows serendipity is a force not to be ignored. He began pursuit of an education to become a teacher at Barton Community College after he graduated from high school in 1998, but his plans were disrupted by a deep realization that his passion was elsewhere.

Zink was granted a books and tuition scholarship to serve as a student worker in the Athletic Training office, tending to athletes’ injuries and keeping them in good condition to perform at their best in competition.
