Amy Knoll I am a third-year English major. I grew up in Wyoming, Colorado, and Iowa before moving to Wisconsin; my family has now been in Oshkosh for the past seven years. This will be my second year with the Oshkosh Scholar and I am excited to develop my editorial skills as I work with students to bring their research to its fullest potential. It’s been wonderful so far to see the dedication and persistence that students have for their work and I’m looking forward to seeing the final product. |
