KEIANA “KAE” JAMES MAJOR: MANAGEMENT EMERGENCY DISASTER RELIEF SPECIALIST AMERICAN RED CROSS IN MILWAUKEE
Keiana “Kae” James didn’t even know UW-Stevens Point was an option until a campus recruiter arrived at her high school in Milwaukee. That visit turned out to be game-changer. “Had I gone to my school of choice, I never would have graduated,”
“Faculty cared so much about me, not just as a student but as a person.” She also met with her adviser to discuss dropping out, but the response Kae received shifted to what could UWSP do to help her succeed. “Had I been at one of the larger schools I originally planned to attend, I would have been lost in the crowd. No one would have been invested in my success like the faculty and staff at UW-Stevens Point.”
