Share the names of your favorite professors or other mentors you'd like to thank (and why).
I am incredibly grateful for professors such as Jeff Goodman, Dr. Lisa Runner, Dr. Nicole Sonbert, and Dr. John Stanely Ross who always supported me through my collegiate career and showed me the unconditional love professors have to teach and make a difference in the world. I hope to one day be as great as them!
In a nutshell, what has App State meant to you?
App State has been my home away from home and I could not imagine going to school anywhere else! Roll Neers!!!
