On May 05, 2022

Alison, mother of three, has worked hard for this honor.  When she was a teenager, she had five knee surgeries.  The people who helped her were amazing, and she knew she wanted to do the same for other people.  She worked hard on her degree while raising her children - how fun it must have been to all be in school at the same time!  She showed great fortitude, and we are so proud of our Dean’s List graduate!
