Why FRC?
Michael Smith 06Major: Criminal JusticeHometown: Reno, NVTransferred to Quincy Universityin Spring 2007
When I enrolled at FRC, my goal was to fur ther my education
and still have the opportunity to play football. In doing all
of that I had accomplished many things that I had never
thought I could achieve. I met a lot of people that I know I
will have life long friendships with. I competed on the foot-
ball field, as well as in the classroom which got me onto
the Deans List. While at FRC, another door was opened in
my life. I received an athletic scholarship to the prestigious
Quincy University in Illinois. It was because of my time at
Feather River I was able to be so successful.

Transferring to Humboldt
I am in my fourth semester at FRC, majoring in Environmental Studies and loving
the Outdoor Recreation Program. When I began I was very scared and not sure
how I would do in school because it had been a little over ten years sincehigh school; it didnt take long to see that I definitely ended up in the right
place. Since that first day I have been constantly impressed with FRCs
staff, as well as my ability to do so well at so many things. Many
of my instructors have inspired me in so many ways and have
encouraged me to try harder and do more... because I can!
After FRC I plan to further my education in Humboldt
where I will follow my path in an Environmental
field and I will continue to play a leader-
ship role in Environmental clubs
and programs as well.

www.frc.eduKatie Redman Major: Liberal StudiesHometown: Round Mountain, NVI dont think that there could have been a better choice for me than
Feather River College. Being in a small town, but bigger than my home
town, it is a perfect stepping stone for me in accomplishing my aca-
demic and athletic goals. The professors and staff are so dedicated to
making your education a success they make you want to succeed. With
their dedication to teaching I have been able to achieve a
4.0 GPA. and play volleyball at the same time.
I will be able to graduate at the end of the fall semes-ter of 2008 with a degree in Liberal Studies so that
I may transfer to a four year college and continue
my studies in becoming a high school teacher
and volleyball coach, dont know if I will
yet, I dont know if I want to leave yet.
But whenever I do leave I know I
will be more than ready to take
on any school that lies in my
future!
