Student Spotlight Meet Micha Gilbert January's student spotlight [http://files.ctctcdn.com/33261b9e001/23a133e6-7de6-4bd2-a3c0-0096e379c098.jpg]Growing up in Durant, Oklahoma Micha's passions were dancing and rodeo. Micha began dancing when she was three and continued performing through college. "Rodeo and dance emphasized the importance of a strong work ethic and goal setting, lessons I was able to internalize at a young age," she said. These skills would be used as she entered college. As a freshman, Micha wanted to challenge herself academically, so she undertook a three-year plan instead of the traditional four at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. In addition to academics, she was a member of the Sparks dance team, President's Leadership Class, Student Programming Board, Theater at Southeastern, and a Savage Storm Leader, as well as, a student worker in the Welcome Center on campus. Micha graduated from Southeastern with a Bachelors in Communication within her three year goal. Micha credits her parents in helping her achieve her goals. "They supported me in every endeavor I attempted and my education was no different," she said Currently, Micha lives in the Washington, D.C. area with her husband, Matt, a Major in the US Army and their German Shepherd. She is a full time Graduate student pursuing a Masters in Communication through the University of Oklahoma. Her plan is to complete her degree in the summer of 2016. After graduation, Micha hopes to use her expanded knowledge while overseas serving as a diplomat with her husband. Micha's advice to new college students: "Talk to your professors. Building a relationship with them will serve for years to come, and when you need help they will be there to help you. If you find yourself overwhelmed or falling behind go to them early on, and get a plan together. There isn't anything wrong with asking for help."
