If I were a Cottey student today… I attended Cottey from 2005-2007 and I am so excited to see all the changes and updates that have happened since! If I was a Cottey student today I would take full advantage of the new stock trading lab! It is such a great opportunity to be able to learn about stock trading early in your 20s! I would also take more advantage of the leadership opportunities and the close contact with teachers, I had no idea how unique it was for all the teachers to know my name!

Favorite spot on campus? I have always loved the library and would spend hours there. After the recent renovation, it is definitely my favorite place on campus.

What sets Cottey apart from other college and universities? The community and size of the school makes it unique. It is the only institution I have found that is so personal, allows so much growth, and pushes you to be a leader. If there is something you have always wanted to learn or try out, Cottey is the place to do it! Also, what other school offers an international experience for all their students?

Hometown? Wickenburg, AZ

Degree? Masters of International Education, Bachelors of Psychology and an Associates of Arts Degree from Cottey
