“I don’t know if a thank you is enough for all the love and support I have genuinely felt from our donors. I made the greatest, lasting memories at Doane University; their generosity and endless kindness contributed to that. I have learned how to become an empathetic, engaging, and effective teacher, a gritty, hardworking student-athlete, and above all, a good person. Not many colleges and universities are as special as Doane, and that is because there are not many staff members, professors, coaches, students, and donors like the ones we have at Doane. From the bottom of my heart, I’m grateful for the best years of my life. Now, onto my master’s! Thank you again.”
