Jasmine Urban, 2023
Dr. Mike Swoboda was the best mentor. When I transferred to Park, I was trying to figure out which direction I wanted to go with my three associate degrees. He helped me get into the Sport and Exercise Science program and the Master of Education in Organizational Leadership and Adult Learning program. Without him, I would have been behind a whole year trying to reconstruct my plan for life. Among these programs and volleyball, I found some of my best friends. I am now a volleyball coach for college, high school, and club because of the connections I made through these programs.
