Sophomore volleyball player Kelsey Bittinger was focused on impressing college recruiters in high school so she could continue in the sport.
Now an accomplished outside hitter, Bittinger strives to stand out to employers with her 4.0 GPA in applied physics as an honors student.
“I am so focused on getting a good job and a good career,” Bittinger said. “Volleyball is just kind of my passion right now. School is the future. It’s really tough to juggle volleyball and all this stuff that needs my attention.”
Dedicated students like Bittinger have contributed to the Kent State volleyball team’s Academic Progress Rate (APR), earning it an NCAA Public Recognition Award.
