Hi! My name is Abby Spangenberg and I'm a 4th year from Sunbury, Ohio studying Chemical Engineering. To me, being in SAC means being a part of a legacy so much bigger than ourselves. It’s being a part of a large school with large opportunities, while finding a small community that makes campus feel like home. It's late nights studying in the SAC office, grabbing coffee with SACers, and always being invited to try something new. It’s growth, leadership, and dedication; but it’s also passion, comfort, and excitement. SAC taught me how to dream big and gave me the courage to make those dreams come true.
