Donor profile: Korin Martin ’17

Korin Martin ’17 recently began funding a monetary prize for the Unsung Hero Award through the Student Activities Board (SAB). While a student at Messiah, Martin had been involved in student leadership through SAB as treasurer and had received the inaugural Unsung Hero Award as a senior.

“Winning this award made me feel appreciated and reminded me that my hard work hadn’t gone unnoticed,” said Martin. “Being involved with student leadership was transformative in my college experience and life. I wanted to find a way I could continue to support student leadership and the impact that this experience can have on their lives.”

The award is given to a leader who supports and serves their team when no one is looking.

“Those qualities are things that I learned and valued through my leadership experience,” said Martin. “I wanted to make this award even more special by creating a monetary gift to go along with the honor of being selected for the award.”

She has several family connections to Messiah, including brother Mitchell ’12; brother Conrad ’20; and her aunt Karen Rohrer Crouse ’83. We are grateful to Martin for her commitment to future students who model her example of servant leadership.
