Bio
Sara DeVries
Aarin is bright, motivated, and hard working. I could always count on Aarin to produce high quality work in a short timeline - a rare gift to find in grad student group project teams. Always well prepared for class discussion, her questions challenged me and her performance motivated me to deeper levels of thought and higher levels of productivity. Century College is fortunate to have Aarin as a student development professional.
Jon Ruzek
Aarin was a colleague I could turn to regarding all sorts of questions, from routine technical procedures to complex policy decisions. She is an outstanding resource for the students she serves. I completely trust her judgment and value her professional skills. Outside of St. Thomas, Aarin was very active in the Minnesota College Personnel Association state board, which showed her willingness to give back professionally to the Twin Cities higher education community and educate the next generation of student affairs professionals.
