VINCENNES, Ind. - Vincennes University’s COPE Student Support Service program has named Sarah French as its Student of the Semester for the Fall 2017 term.

French commutes to the Vincennes Campus from Shoals and is a psychology major.

COPE’s Student of the Semester Award began in 2016 and recognizes students who are actively involved, remain in good academic standing, and utilize the tutoring and other services the program offers.

“Sarah has excelled since she has been in the program,” said April Kaiser, a COPE educational coach. “She works as a peer tutor, is the secretary for the Triple S club, and is always willing to participate in activities.”
