For Sherri Conard, Butler was an affordable way to begin her college education close to home. But her experience quickly became about much more than saving money.
As a student worker in the Financial Aid Office and an Ambassador for Admissions, Conard gained confidence, learned to balance work and school, and built friendships and connections that would stay with her long after graduation.
After earning her bachelor’s degree from Emporia State University, Conard returned to Butler to begin her professional career — and never left. Today, she is entering her 29th year as a Butler employee.
Butler has also become a family tradition. All three of Conard’s children attended and graduated from Butler, and she and her husband have established a Foundation Scholarship to help today’s students begin their own Butler stories.
“Butler not only provided me with an affordable education, but it also gave me experiences that, at the time, I didn’t know a community college provided.”
