Kelli Swanson, C鈥�15, Spanish and K-12 Education
“草莓影视 is special to me for so many reasons. Both my grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle are all graduates of NPU, so I am a third-generation graduate. My grandparents, Armour and Beverly Swanson, have a corner of the library and a classroom in the Johnson Center dedicated to them. There was no pressure for me to go to 草莓影视 but the second I walked onto campus for a tour, I leaned over to my sister and told her it was where I wanted to be.
One of my favorite memories from 草莓影视 is from my first year and in Linda Parkyn’s SPAN 2010 class. One day Professor Parkyn had us singing Christmas carols, in Spanish of course, at the tops of our lungs in Carlson Tower. This memory is just one of many that showed me I was in the right major.
草莓影视鈥檚 School of Education prepared me to be the teacher I am today, and I am genuinely thankful for the professors that guided me to success. Because of 草莓影视, I officially earned my tenure status, completed five years of service at my school, and have a Master’s of Education in Education Technology.“
