I am also thankful I work with a wonderful group of students and faculty. Thank you again for this honor.” - Angela Pritchett

She leads with a firm but kind manner and has the respect of all who work with her. She has demonstrated her ability and desire to be a mentor to her coworkers and to our student population.
