Graduate Profile
Kelly O'Connor Dachtler
Graduation: 2005
Major: English, German
Kelly O'Connor Dachtler was drawn to the German major because of her experiences traveling abroad.
“The individual attention shown to each student by the German department was truly remarkable,” the 2005 graduate says. “I believe this helped me learn and grow much more quickly than would be possible at a larger school.”
