Looking back at that young girl who graduated from the school in June of 1969, I can’t help but consider the tremendous influence that the school had upon me and my life’s choices and work. AMSU is where I learned about leadership that was grounded in an obligation to serve others. Much like many of our current students, I was the first in my family to attend college.
