“ Each graduation season reminds me why we do this work,” said President Kristen Raney.“ These graduates are not only earning credentials— they’ re building futures for themselves, their families, and our communities. We’ re proud to walk alongside them, and we can’ t wait to see what they accomplish next.”
In spring, President Kristen Raney was recognized by Brown County United Way with the Outstanding Individual Contribution Award. Dr. Raney received the honor during the BCUW’ s annual breakfast celebration, attending with members of College leadership.
