This school has provided me with so many amazing opportunities, from being a peer tutor to now completing my nursing degree.”

Garner added, “Being the recipient of the All-Academic Team means so much to me because it again shows me the endless support and kindness MCTC's faculty and staff have given throughout my time here. My experience here has shown me that going to MCTC is the best decision anyone could make.”

After graduation, Garner will begin her nursing career at Bourbon Community Hospital.

Alexandra Martin, from Maysville, is a Business Administration student at the Maysville Campus. During her time at MCTC, she was elected to serve on the KCTCS Board of Regents, as well serve on MCTC's Board of Appeals and In-State Residence Review Team.
