It is my privilege and honor to recommend Katy Whalen. I have been working with Ms. Whalen since September 2016. Over the last nine months I have learned this: Katy is a singularly exceptional woman! In the time I have spent with her she has impressed me time and again with her attitude, her compassion, and her professionalism. Moreover, Katy has also been a model of dedication, initiative and collegiality to instructors and peers, alike. Katy and I first met when she joined a cohort in which I was an instructor. This was a collaborative effort between ACCESS South Washington County Schools, the Minnesota Workforce Center, and Century College. Participants attended a 12-week Bridge class in an effort to prepare them for the rigor, schedule, and curriculum of college-level work. Upon completion of the Bridge, they enrolled in a 16-week Computer Skills Certificate program at Century College. Although Bridge class attendance was not mandatory for individuals who were considered
