Soon she began studying business and later graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2014 with an MBA. She is passionate about education because it has literally changed her life. Now, she is the Alumni Relations Coordinator for Eastern Florida State College where she is helping to connect students and former graduates with the Alumni Association. She has already begun to celebrate the accomplishments of EFSC graduates and how they have impacted our community through the creation of a new Alumni Newsletter along with targeted letters to certificate program graduates. “I want to make the Alumni program a vibrant and useful tool in the lives of our Alumni,” says Robin. RISING TITAN SCHOLARS Pfrimmer Family All Graduates of EFSC! L ooking back, I’m sure the Pfrimmer family never thought that all of them would graduate from the same college in the future, but that’s exactly what happened. Both Sandy and Charles Pfrimmer graduated from EFSC and so have their children, Jenny and Joe. Pictured from Left to Right: Sandy ’10, Jenny ’17, Charlotte (Joe & Kirstie’s daughter), Charles ’15, Grace (Joe & Kirstie’s daughter), Joe ’16, Kirstie (Joe’s wife) Why is this story important, one might ask? Because higher education enables transformation. A college degree creates the opportunity to make social and economic progress in one’s life. When one Titan rises, the whole family reaps the benefit as time moves forward. This transformational change called “opportunity” allows students to rise to the level that their abilities and energy will take them.
