Katie Henry Named Student of the Month

Katie Henry has been named Student of the Month for November at Miami University Middletown. The junior from Middletown is majoring in Early Childhood Education.

Henry was nominated for the award for her ability to incorporate her newly acquired classroom skills into her job at Mount Pleasant Retirement Village. She recently brought 15 Mt. Pleasant residents to the Fantastic Free Fridays performance of A Christmas Carol.

"Henry is one of those special students who immediately apply what they learn. I have met some of her senior citizen friends from Mount Pleasant and they tell me how much they appreciate her. Adding more music to their lives has drawn them into the community and given them joy," said Music Instructor Susan Joyce, who made the nomination. "She also enriched our class by inviting a Russian friend to share her culture with us, as Katie taught us a Russian dance. These are just two examples of how she sees the importance of music and people, and I am delighted that she has received this recognition."

Henry maintains a high GPA and will be on the Dean's List for fall semester. She is the daughter of Rick and Kathy Henry of Middletown

The Student of the Month award is given in recognition of students who make a significant contribution to the campus either in or out of the classroom.
