About Me!
Howdy! My name is Makennah Casady, and I'll be your Supplemental Instruction Leader for HIST 105 with Dr. McGlone. I'm a senior History major from Abilene, but I lived in Southern California for nine years before moving back to attend Texas A&M. When I'm not doing schoolwork, I enjoy reading, going on walks, and visiting antique stores.
This will be my first semester as an SI Leader, but I love U.S. History and did well when I took HIST 105, so I'm excited to work with y'all! Below, you will find my session schedule, materials, reminders, and contact info.
Session Schedule!
