Involved

It has often been said, “Life is short, make the best of it.” For Cassie Seckel, her mantra as a student at the Columbus Campus was, “Your time is short at CCC, so make the best of it.” She did that and much more. Seckel enrolled at CCC-Columbus in 2017 after graduating from Scotus Central Catholic High School in Columbus. She studied elementary education and, in many ways, she put the “life” in student life. In addition to being a full-time student, Seckel was the manager for the volleyball team and a member of the Raider Cheer and Dance squad. She was a student ambassador and a South Hall resident assistant. Seckel was also involved in Phi Theta Kappa and the National Society for Leadership and Success, serving as chapter president for both. So, how did she do it all and still graduate with honors? “A lot of people describe me as a busy bee,” said Seckel. “I like to be on my feet. I like to be around others. I like to help others enjoy their time here on earth as well and I can only do that if I am involved in things. I would say that started day one at CCC.”
