Kiersten Cook Named October Rotary Student of the Month

Terra State Community College student Kiersten Cook has been named the college’s Rotary Student of the Month for October.
Cook lives in Willard with her family and graduated from Seneca East in 2022, where she received multiple honor awards, including Principal’s List, Latin Honors, and National Honor Society.
Cook chose Terra State to obtain a 2-year degree in business, which will be an asset in becoming a business owner.
Outside of class, Cook likes to spend time with her three sisters, play sports, and cook. She is an active Terra athlete, playing basketball. Cook has received Academic All-American and 2nd Team Honors for basketball.
Her nominator, Ted Willman, Head Women’s Basketball Coach, regards Cook as a lead-by-example leader. “Kiersten will be one of our captains for basketball, and she helps in church and other community activities. Kiersten is very giving of her time, and our young players look up to her. Kiersten gave up her $3,000 basketball scholarship so she could play soccer and will also play softball. I don’t know if any other student would do that. She is a great role model for all of our students.”
“An experience I will take away from Terra State will be playing with all my different teammates,” said Cook.
After graduation, Cook wants to get her hair license before pursuing her career goal of opening her own salon.
