WKU senior Keisjia Mitchell is a second-generation college student pursuing her baccalaureate degree in Health Information Management (HIM). Although the Bowling Green native keeps her plate full with work, parenting, and school, leaving a path for future students is top of mind.
She served all four years of high school in the Junior Reserves Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC), graduating as a company commander. Through the program, she developed skills in leadership and learned the importance of serving her community.
Carrying those skills into college, Mitchell now serves as a student representative for the KHIMA (KY Health Information Management Association) student engagement committee. “Being a part of this committee is a huge honor. It has made me proud of the school that I represent. I hope that my work is paving the way for future students and that I can unite them to build a sense of community [in the program] at WKU.”
