Ashlin McCamy – Class of 2025
University of Missouri
Cotillion for Achievement had a tremendous impact on my preparation to enter the professional world. It helped me grow my confidence, especially when speaking professionally with people for the first time.
That confidence encouraged me to become involved in several organizations at the University of Missouri and to take on leadership roles, including serving as President of Collegiate DECA. Being surrounded by accomplished peers through Cotillion inspired me to do even more in college.
