Austin - Thank you so much for sharing this! This is an impactful example of how just one person paying attention and caring about someone else's educational and career journey can make such a difference. It reminds me of something that I frequently think about in my job - that so often, it's the system, not the person, that stands in the way of someone successfully completing a degree or applying for a job. In this case, it was a matter of awareness that one course stood between the person you were helping and her degree, combined with your ability to connect her with crucial resources she otherwise might not have been able to find. It also highlights the importance of our networks - your connection who was very knowledgeable about completion grants opened up opportunities that may have been difficult to come by. This is such a great reminder to understand the systems in which we work (and their shortfalls) and to value and maintain the connections we make.
