Katelyn Ackland, a senior majoring in music education and clarinet performance in the NIU School of Music is the subject of a Huskie Spotlight.
Katelyn has earned multiple scholarships at NIU, and is appreciative of the support of her professors and fellow students.
“My NIU Huskie story is so special. The most special part of the story comes from the people I have gotten to connect with and learn from. I am so thankful for the connections NIU has provided me with and the tools to take a dream and make it happen. Music education/performance leaves me with the promise of never-ending opportunities to meet new people and make meaningful connections. Having the desire to better oneself to serve others is a very worthwhile investment of time, as it makes the most of every moment for the inspiration of the future.”
