"I’m wearing my internship scrubs today because it is my last call as a Registrar. It has been a long 4 year(s) journey that started with WSU giving me a chance to do my undergraduate with no source of funding but a determined parent and family. I wouldn’t be where I am today...

"If I wasn’t for the sacrifices made by late mom, my lovely sisters and the 'rural university!' Often looked down on. Thanks."
