Congratulations to our March OT of the month, Sarah Durning! 🤩💫💎
“Sarah is not only an outstanding class rep but also an amazing classmate and friend. She consistently looks out for the cohort and does her best to communicate effectively with all the professors.

Sarah listens to our complaints/ concerns, ensuring they are relayed accurately. Her dedication to supporting the class and advocating for us is greatly appreciated.
Sarah is such a great, supportive, and collaborative classmate. I have enjoyed working with her and consider her to be such an amazing leader. She also does so much for our class as class representative, and does such a good job at communicating with both us and our professors.
