I am also the FYT Mentor for the College of Education for the 2016-2017 academic year. I have volunteered throughout my time at ISU and have approximately 80 hours of service. These hours have been acquired through a multitude of events at Idaho State such as National Girls and Women in Sports Day and the Bengal Triathlon.
