“My time at ��Ĺ��ý was packed with personal development and growth. Acquiring necessary skills that enable me to be the leader my team needed me to be. Through this program I was able to push myself and understand what was needed for my future. I met professors and students that assisted and guided me along this journey. My professors were understanding, inclusive, and thorough. Creating valuable relationships, I will treasure for a lifetime. I was even asked to speak at the Society of Appalachian Historians regarding a project I had completed in my “Reel Appalachian” Appalachian History and Film class. I completed an organizational analysis project that carried forward to assist my department in aligning goals and expectations. ��Ĺ��ý showed me that all things are possible with initiative. Helping me to recognize what is needed for the future”
