Spencer NPCC Business Student of the Month

Whitney Spencer, of Grant, is North Platte Community College’s Business Student of the Month for December.

 Spencer graduated from North Platte High School in 2012 and is currently studying business administration and event planning online at NPCC.

 “I selected NPCC for the flexibility that the college offers through online courses and for the amazing faculty members,” said Spencer. “I have enjoyed all my instructors and have been lucky to have their guidance.”

Business instructor Jimi Cole nominated Spencer for the recognition. Cole said online classes take a lot of work and commitment, and Spencer has displayed those characteristics.

 “She is very engaged in the online classroom, has a positive outlook and takes the time needed each week to perfect her work,” Cole said. “It has been a pleasure having Whitney in class, and she is most deserving of this award.”

Spencer is on track to graduate in May. After that, she plans to continue her education in business and science. Her goal is to one day obtain a Master of Business Administration degree as well as a doctorate in physics.

In addition to learning about new things, especially science and space, Spencer enjoys spending time outdoors, fishing, reading, writing, volunteering and spending time with friends and family.

She and her husband Alec have two children, Cozette and Derringer.
