As she prepares to graduate with a degree in Business Administration, Jaci reflects on a journey marked by resilience, gratitude, and growth.

After overcoming knee surgery during her junior year, Jaci found strength through the unwavering support of her teammates, coaches, and the entire USSU family. While she's excited to begin her career, leaving behind the friendships and family she's built here won't be easy.

"My softball team always had my back, and this school feels like one big family."

Congratulations, Jaci! Your determination, heart, and leadership will take you far. We can't wait to see what's next.
