Katelyn Foster graduated from L'Anse Creuse High School and is pursuing a BA in theatre with a minor in German. Whether it is planning the annual talent show for the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance, volunteering with WSU's Community of Scholars at various Detroit locations or working to improve the university’s student life with her seat on the Student Senate, Foster always is looking to see where she can do her part and make a difference. One of her favorite things about living on campus is being a part of the midtown/downtown Detroit community. By going to local concerts, visiting the DIA or accomplishing her goal to try every restaurant in the area, she wants people to know that there are plenty of activities on and around campus with which to become involved. |
