"Northwest Missouri State University helped give me the life I have now, and I want to pass on that gift to current and future students. I have been actively involved with my alma mater since 1996 and feel the need to always contribute more to Northwest. Education is the key to a successful future. As many people as possible should have the opportunity to attend college."
