Although college was a roller coaster of emotions, I had several mentors who helped me navigate campus, policies, and student life. This shoutout is for my amazing professors, academic advisors, and student organization advisors. I cannot encourage you to use the people in your corner enough! My four years at undergrad were some of my best, inspiring me to pursue an advanced degree in higher education at BW!

easier for those who come behind you.
