51³Ô¹ÏÍø

When Kellie Miley graduated from Rootstown High School in 2008, she is the first to admit she was not ready for college. In high school, she barely cracked a book yet managed a 3.2 grade point average (GPA).

Getting by with little effort changed when she started as a freshman at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. By the end of the year, Ms. Miley found herself academically dismissed for poor grades.

Another October, another Columbus Day.
