Senior Profile: Elizabeth Stoeck

 Liz is from Olathe, Kansas earning her degree in Marketing. She was recently selected as the 2023-2024 Outstanding Student for the Marketing program! 

Liz hopes to one day work for a nonprofit to help causes she is passionate about, but for the near future she has accepted a position with FHSU University Marketing as a Digital Media Specialist and hopes to pursue an MBA. 

As her advisor, Brad Goebel was a huge help in helping her plan and coordinate, and Dr. Rachel Dolecheck was flexible and supportive in Liz's adjustment to being an online student with an in-a-hurry baby on the way. Dr. Mary Martin's classes have been directly applicable to Liz's internship work and she says Dr. Martin has been great to work with due to her eagerness to help and how she builds relationships with her students. 

Liz's biggest new learning experience has been welcoming our tiniest Honorable, Elsie! "I am so proud that not only am I learning how to be a mom, but that I managed to graduate a year early when I was previously on track to graduate in 4 years. I am proud of the example I am setting for her and thankful for all the opportunities FHSU provides for success. I genuinely believe that while I would have succeeded at any university, it is because of the environment and support systems at FHSU that I could graduate in the pathway that I did and still have relationships with my professors and succeed in my courses." 

We're proud of you too, Liz! Sometimes the most important thing about Honorable life (and mom life) is finding balance and making it all work. Some days it's easier than others, but you're doing amazing and we're grateful to have Elsie as part of the Honors Tiger family. 🐯
