Exactly 2 years ago, on May 22, 2022, we posted this same photo of Krysta Edwards, waiting to walk the stage & accept her diploma during Commencement.
Krysta started as a student, graduated to become an alum, and now, she continues to be part of the Villa community as an employee! Krysta works in the Provost`s Office and has been the driving force behind all kinds of things here at the College, including VillaCon! Krysta is a vital part of our team -- and we know she has the education to keep her going strong.
