Court Reporting students and alumni,

Have you reached a milestone that you would like us to share?

We try hard to keep up with speed-level advances and certifications! We don’t always see or hear of them, but we care and want to know. It also serves as motivation for others.

Please email me at Sarah Bowers at [email protected]. We would love to share your accomplishments. Please include any tips you have for achieving such milestone.

Good luck on finals and the CSR, if you are taking it. You’ve got this! All the work you’ve done up to this point has prepared you.
