Graduating: 2026, Political science with a minor in pre-law

Hometown: Strasburg, Virginia

My name is Collin Nicholson, and I am proud to serve as the first Governor of the Virginia Government Simulation in 2025. I recently served as a delegate in the inaugural simulation and am ready to pursue the needs of all delegates. Furthermore, I ensure that I will advocate for every delegate to be heard and promote bipartisanship within the legislature.

Outside of politics, I play football and Esports at Bridgewater and am an active member of the tutoring team, where I share my knowledge of history and politics with my fellow students. I am also a member of the Honors program and was a part of the Moot Court competitive team. During the Summer of 2025, I plan to intern at a law firm in Winchester, Virginia.

After graduating from Bridgewater, I plan to attend law school to pursue my goal of becoming an attorney, focusing on business law. Using my knowledge and experience from the simulation, I want to run for office and build a sustainable future for the next generation.
