Biotechnology

"Presley is a dedicated student who strives to understand the whys in the lab. She is participatory and willing to go the extra mile to support and encourage her fellow students. She also sees the big picture of the future, including the pitfalls and successes.

Presley was asked to speak at our recent MOA with Murray State College. She was to define the value of the articulation agreement to her personal college dreams and those of others. She put into perspective why collaboration for student success is so important. She awed us all with her grasp of the financial benefits, to students, by allowing her CareerTech courses count toward an associate's degree at MSC. She also told us that this agreement was helping her achieve her dream of attending college."
