ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT🌟
Gabbi Hartz, Class of '20 & '22 (she/her)
Gabbi Hartz graduated from the Academic Success Program in 2020. She never thought college was in the cards for her, so becoming a Golden Ram was life-changing. Her experience with the ASP team and her peer assistants inspired Gabbi to be involved on campus and to continue at West Chester for her Master's degree in Higher Education Policy and Student Affairs. She dreamed of being a source of support for students at WCU. She currently works for WCU's Office of Educational Accessibility as the Senior Accommodations Specialist.
On campus involvement: Peer Assistant, Game club, Resident Assistant, Explore club, SAC events
