Miranda Lynn Snyder spent a few years at Kennesaw State where she was working toward a degree in nursing. She transferred to Chattanooga State because of the small classes and great teachers. Her advisor, Sandra Lowery, presented her with the option of graduating with an associate of arts degree in Spanish while continuing to work toward her nursing degree. “I could get one degree under my belt, then in two years I would have another. I love Chattanooga State and the people who represent it,” says Miranda. She is thankful for the support of her parents, Lynnette and Rodney, aunt, Shirley Smith Jones, and fiancé, Eduardo Mata.
