“Kayla managed to balance leadership roles in ASA and the Panhellenic Council and make honor roll during her time at RC. Her engagement, passion, and smile will be missed.” – Academic Advisor, Dr. Denise Friedman
“Carolyn is the ultimate achiever! You rarely see one person juggle so much so successfully. She traveled abroad to study in Australia and came back with a passion for research. Balancing research in two domains, she accomplished more in a year than most do in 4 years. I anticipate she will have her first manuscript under review before graduation! I know she will thrive in the masters program at JMU.” – Academic Advisor & Research Mentor, Dr. Denise Friedman
