Graduate Profile

Katie Umbarger

Katie Umbarger
Graduation: 2011
Major: Elementary Education

When Katie Umbarger ’11 walked through the door to higher education as a first-generation college student, she was supported every step of the way.

“Alma took me under its wing and guided me through the process of entering college,” she says. “The concept of college seemed pretty surreal, but I was blessed with an amazing admissions counselor who helped me through everything. Alma was like finding a second family.”
