Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ (Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ) Communication and Arts Division named Jamie Walsh as the
November student of the month.
Walsh is a music education major who hopes to transfer to Henderson State University
to further her education. She chose Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ because she wanted to stay close to home for
her first year of college. “It is more like a family than a college to me,� she expressed.
She noted that Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ is a community that gives the students a chance to shine and she
is grateful her work is noticed.
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ music instructor and choral director Ferris Allen said, “Although Jamie's work
has been at a consistently high level since her arrival over a year ago, her progress
this fall has been just jaw-dropping. At every lesson, I am surprised to see that
yet again, she has gotten further in between meetings than I expected possible. I
think part of this is her ability to focus on surface-level, immediate performance
goals while also giving thoughtful attention to those obstacles that require patience
and tenacity. It is rare to have such a thoughtful student, and I am extremely grateful
for her hard work.�
“I am very grateful to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ and my professors for everything they have done for me
over my time here. If I had to start my college career over again, I would choose
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ all over again,â€� noted Walsh.
