My career accomplishments are due to what AACRAO has provided me with lifelong friends and colleagues through the volunteer, conference, and publication opportunities provided. I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge, information, and laughs with all of colleagues. I'm so lucky that I have had staff that believe in making a positive difference in students' lives and they are so committed to AACRAO and all it has to offer. One of my proudest accomplishments was increasing the 4-year graduation rate by over 33% to 78%. I would not be receiving this award from AACRAO for my accomplishments and the years of service to the profession if it was not for all of you, my colleagues, friends and former staff members. Thank you all.
