Project Strive/TRiO Honors Ewing Sisters as February Students of the Month at Chadron State College3/21/2016 Ewing sisters Kelsey and Leyna Brummels were recently named the February Students of the Month by Project Strive/TRiO at Chadron State College. Project director Jen Schaer said that he staff felt the two deserved to share the honor for many reasons. “Kelsey is a strong student and was a work-study for us in 2014-15. She produced the end-of-the-year video which took a lot of time and is not afraid to step up and do any task asked of her,” Schaer said. “Leyna is an excellent student and her personality makes you want to sit and talk to her for hours and hours. She helps out any Strive member and is willing to step up to the plate when asked.” The Brummels were involved in National TRiO Day promotions and have attended speakers like Devin Hughes, co-sponsored on campus by Project Strive/TRiO. Kelsey also serves as a mentor for other Project Strive/TRiO students. Leyna is currently an accounting major, while and Kelsey is studying marketing. Future educational plans for the women include sitting for the certified public accountant exam for Leyna and pursuing a master’s of business administration for Kelsey. Leyna may pursue a career at an accounting firm in the Norfolk, Nebraska, area, while Kelsey hopes to enter the college recruiting field or join a public relations staff for a sports team.
