Savanna Proudfoot, Hudson Class of 2020

University of Michigan 2020-2024

"Coming from a family and community that, for the most part, did not pursue secondary education, I would say I was unprepared when I entered my first year of college. I passionately believe that Rising Scholars would’ve made a drastic difference in how I approached college life, and will help innumerable students succeed. With its commitment to encouraging engaged students to continue down a path of involvement and achievement, and significant resources at its disposal, RS is a vital community tool. I feel that providing a stage for well-deserving students to demonstrate their commitment and strengthen their skills is essential to the growth of the community and each student’s short and long-term success."
