Student Navigator
Hi, my name is Kristyann. I started my academic journey at the College so I understand what it’s like to be a student here. I know being a student can be overwhelming at times, and questions can be daunting when you don’t know where to start or who to turn to. I want to work with you to make your experience here at COTR the most positive experience it can be. I’m happy you’re here and I’m looking forward to working with you! 😊
