There is nothing better than seeing the success of our former Vulcan Students! Meet Margaret Arnold (Bently), a 2000 graduate of VHS. Margaret attended Michigan State University, where she received a degree in English. Margaret has been employed with Auburn University for the past 11 years, where she is the Senior Director of Advancement for the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. Her team is responsible for raising $30M-$40M a year to support students, faculty, and programs in the college. The team's work makes college available for students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend college – which changes lives and family trajectories! I am so grateful to the teachers at Vassar who helped me to get scholarships to MSU and who helped me to tour MSU’s campus. Those four years at MSU changed my life, and my student job there led me to a career that has been very meaningful and impactful. Do you know a Vassar graduate with a great story we could share? If so, please send their contact information, a short blurb, and a recent picture to Stacy Esterline at sesterline@vassar.k12.mi.us
