I was able to successfully complete my practicum, thanks to Bethany Kaufman and the amazing team at Mankato State.  I had started my master’s degree in library media and had to put it on hold.  The opportunity to complete the degree was possible due to the support I received from Mankato State and also from the amazing team at Prairielands.  Bethany, I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your support.  The scholarship also helped me cover some of the expenses of certification completion.  Thank you for investing in me.
