    “Coming back to Aberdeen for college wasn’t really anything that I had expected to do until I recognized my passion for special education during my sophomore year of college. I transferred to Northern my junior year and I haven’t looked back since. To say that I have kept busy since coming back to the town I grew up in is quite an understatement. In my busyness both on campus and in the community, I have rekindled my passion for theater by being a part of several productions at NSU! Perhaps one of the greatest moments I have experienced so far was during my experience in NSU’s production of ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame.’ Prior to the production, I underwent surgery to fix a paralyzed vocal-chord that required me to be on strict vocal rest for six months. One of my closest friends, Annie, was in the production with me and decided that she couldn’t not talk to me and through picking up on the American Sign Language that I used to communicate, she began picking up on sign language as well as a means to speak with me. As time went by, several of my cast-mates began picking up on sign language to speak with me as well. As somebody who has experienced deafness my whole life in addition to the vocal rest that I was put on at the time, it felt absolutely incredible to have such a great group of people surround me and support me through my healing process. I think this instance completely captures the essence of Northern and the people that are a part of the pack. The feeling of inclusion is greater than ever and it really shows no signs of stopping! Being able to embrace the unique things that make yourself special and inspiring the people around you with those unique things is such a remarkable feeling!” – Katie Magera #beNORTHERN #unleashYOURpotential #WomensHistoryMonth

    I received my B.B.A. in business administration from Iowa State University and my M.A. in English from University of Central Missouri. As a military spouse, I lived across the U.S., Germany, and Japan, and encourage others to explore and experience the amazing world around them. I thoroughly enjoy helping students discover and plan for their futures: to see them grow into confident, always-learning Wolves!
