Grad Story: Jessica Hulett
5/24/2023
We celebrate the inspiring journey of Jessica Hulett, a mother of five, who is graduating from ²ÝÁñÉçÇø with a degree in accounting. Jessica's academic journey has been marked by relentless dedication and unwavering commitment. Despite the challenges she faced, she enrolled at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø in 2003 and that same year dropped out due to health issues. According to her, this was a good thing since her grades reflected her motivation.
Jessica returned to ²ÝÁñÉçÇø in 2019 a more mature, driven, and prepared student. Enrolling in an accounting class, she needed a challenge. Her mentor and professor, Ronald Bowman, took a chance on her and recommended that she take the honors component. It was through the Honors Program that Jessica flourished.
Through Honors, Jessica was named a Coca Cola Silver Scholar, was on the All-California State 1st Team, earned the PTK Leaders of Promise Scholarship and last week was named ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Honors Student of the Year.
Jessica is graduating with a 4.0 GPA and is transferring to her dream college, Purdue University, where she will learn virtually while her youngest two children complete high school. Her goal is to take in-person classes as she earns a master's degree.
As a tutor in the college's Learning Resource Center, Jessica enjoys teaching others. Her goal is to teach at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø.
Jessica's story serves as an inspiration to others, proving that with hard work and commitment, anything is possible.
