As we kick off the first week of classes at Penn College, we're thrilled to share a conversation with Kaysey Beury, Coordinator of Success Solutions at the Michael J. Hudock, Sr. Center for Academic Excellence. Fortunately, we caught up with her before the semester began—because we’re certain she’s incredibly busy connecting with new students. Go Kaysey!
If you're unsure about the support systems available to our students, this conversation is for you. Did you know that nearly half of our student population are first-generation college students or the first in their families to pursue a bachelor's degree? Kaysey is a passionate advocate for first-gen students—and for all students. In this inspiring discussion, she shares her own higher education journey and how it fuels her commitment to student success and her daily work at Penn College.
Thanks for listening!
