“Though quiet, Julia leads by example and her hard work ethic.  You will find Julia supporting Mercer’s sports teams while balancing a busy and challenging course load.  Julia is a player who does whatever is asked of her and a player her coaches never have to worry about as she will show up for any team functions, meetings or practices.”

 

Congratulations to Julia on this award and all of her success!
