It is so saddening to hear that she is stepping down... Yet I am so thankful for all she has done. I can now try for a doctorate in physical therapy at CSUN and I am so excited! Thank you, Jolene, for making it possible. :)

Thank you Dr. Koester. Your leadership provided a place for CSUN to give me wings. Currently, ABD at Purdue.
