“Katelynn is a super-hard worker. She is diligent and has high expectations for herself. When Katelynn came to our advising meetings she was organized and asked good questions. She was self-directed and decided for herself which classes she wanted to take. With this kind of initiative and drive, I have no doubt that Katelynn was do great things in her life!” –Dena Spencer-Curtis, Advisor
