The family includes father Stephen, mother Sarah, and three daughters Essie, Zoe, and Bailey. The Williamson family was nominated by daughter Zoe for their dedication to each other and involvement with North Central Missouri College.
“My family is a very close family who loves and supports each other and would make a great recipient of this award,” Zoe said.

Essie is a 2021 graduate of the NCMC nursing program and was a member of the Dance Wave, Student Ambassador and Phi Theta Kappa. Both Bailey and Zoe are current NCMC students, with Bailey pursuing an associate in arts in teaching and Zoe pursuing an associate in arts degree. Bailey is a member of SMSTA and Zoe is a student senate representative, student worker and a member of the Business Club.
“The Williamson family has devoted itself to education and it was an honor and privilege to recognize them,” said Dr. Kristen Alley, Vice President of Student Affairs. “Sarah and Stephen have done a wonderful job in raising Essie, Bailey and Zoe, and we are proud that all three daughters will be alumni of this institution, as well as recipients of this award.”
The Family of the Year award is sponsored by the NCMC Student Senate and NCMC Student Affairs. Nominations were solicited from current students. The Williamson family was presented the award by NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver and Dr. Alley.
“The Family of the Year is a special award that recognizes not only our students, but the people that have supported and loved them throughout their academic journey,” continued Dr. Alley. “The Williamson Family is an excellent example of providing a foundation where children can grow and learn. They epitomize NCMC’s guiding principles of integrity, intellectual growth and social and personal responsibility. We appreciate the various roles and ways in which each of them have served our campus and are excited to be able to honor them in this way.”
