Welcome... I'm your LCC Abbey Stohs!

I am so excited to meet you this fall.  I will be a resource for you as you navigate through your first year of college here at Minnesota State University, Mankato!  Being involved with the Elements of Nursing learning community will help you academically as well as socially, so utilize me and your peers as much as you can!

Major: Nursing with a minor in Communication Sciences and Disorders. 

How/what made you decide this major? I have always loved helping people, so nursing is a perfect fit. Also, when I was younger I had multiple surgeries and I remember my nurses being so nice which made me want to be a nurse to help other kiddos! 

Year in School:  Senior

Hometown: Ankeny, Iowa 

Favorite Food: Mexican food 

Advice for LC Students: Get connected with your professors! They are there to help you and making a connection on the first day with help you grow a bond with them! 

Smartest thing you ever did/best decision you ever made: Getting involved on campus! 

Favorite thing about MSU: All the opportunities for individual growth.

Campus/LC Involvement: I am currently involved in Health PRO’s, Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, Student Ambassadors, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, and Gamma Sigma Alpha Honor Society. 

Favorite thing to do in Mankato: Explore the waterfalls and all the fun areas to take my dog for a walk!
