"Hello, My name is Kristen and I have now earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from United Tribes Technical College.

I had a little brother named Carl whom died of su***de and it has always been my goal to go get educated and help people like him. My education doesn’t end here, this fall I will start a Master’s program in Pychology with an emphasis in General Psychology thru Grand Canyon University. I just want to say thank you to Shannon, Kayla and everyone else in this department for all you do 🙏🏼 I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for you guys ❤️"

Cheers to another outstanding student, Miss Molly Cullen!

“My name is Molly Cullen. I graduated high school less than a year ago and I’m graduating again with my A.A. in a stem based program. I am on the president’s list with 4.0 gpa, honors, and a first generation student. I’ve always had such a passion for learning which has pushed me through all the challenges I’ve had in the start of my career. I love my family and I could not done it without their support, if I didn’t have anyone around me I’d be fine because I’d know I always have them. They are my light. I’m excited for all the opportunities ahead of me from both MHA and my schooling. It doesn’t stop here though! Go Falcons!"

What a rockstar! Keep it up young lady!
