Betsy, I greatly enjoyed having you in Con Law in fall 2020. You posed so many good questions in the course! If you go to law school, I will advise your professors to be ready.

Notes for Betsy
Congrats, Betsy! 💛 Before getting to know you, I always heard from others how thoughtful and gracious you were. I would constantly hear, “We love Betsy. Protect her at all costs.” You have been such a blessing to our school, and you leave behind an impact. I am so excited to watch you take on the world!
Betsy!! WE DID IT! I would not have survived this school without you – let’s be honest, you did most (or all) of the work in our group projects. Leo’s Bagels will always be a reminder of C&S, and cow erasers will always be a reminder of gravity. I am so proud of how much you’ve grown in the last three years. Congratulations on finally finishing undergrad! Love you, friend!
BETSY KOOISTRA!!!!!!
I feel like I could leave at there and still have expressed every ounce of excitement I get at seeing you. You have been such a delight to get to know these past few years, with every supper club, every class period, every homework session outside the library. You bring so much fun and laughter with you wherever you go and you are such a powerhouse of insights. I’m so excited to see where God takes you (though will be admittedly sad if it means you leave the city) <3 <3
Betsy!! The strongest girl I know. You’re tenacious and admirable and you will be so so missed on campus. Thank you so so much for always being here for your girls:)
Betsy! YOU are the dancing queen, young and sweet, with a college degree (sing that in your head like it rhymes). I’m so thankful that you’ve been by my side, slightly confused, and highly intelligent throughout my time at kings. You have been a constant source of encouragement and support. I love you. Congratulations!
BETSY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wow you are so cool! The world doesn’t know what’s coming for them and I know you’re going to conquer it in the coolest way possible! Carry on my dude!!!
BETSY! YOU’RE DONE! Congrats congrats congrats! It’s been so inspiring watching you balance school, work, and internships so well. Hoping you have some semblance of rest during the summer before going and kicking butt wherever you end up!
Betsy,
Thanks for always bringing some levity to a stressful day and being a welcoming presence on campus. 🙂 Don’t let yourself get too stressed about next steps. There is a place waiting for you!
