“I want to be that voice for kids that encourages them to seek higher education and do great things for themselves,” said Price, a senior studying information systems.
Price’s education, though, didn’t start on the traditional path.
After graduating from Bowsher High School, she planned to take a gap year, but that ultimately ended up being two years that included setbacks from COVID-19 and unforeseen debts.
Price said that she worked hard and paid off her remaining debt and began at Owens Community College in summer 2023 and then transferred to UToledo to join the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation.
