Karli Flanders is North Platte Community College’s “Business Student of the Month” for November.

Flanders graduated from North Platte High School in May. She is currently pursuing associate of arts and associate of science degrees from Mid-Plains Community College and is on track to graduate in May of 2016.

“I selected MPCC because of its affordability and the opportunity to receive the same education as at a four-year college,” said Flanders. “I was able to complete a year of college in high school by taking dual credit classes, so it was an easy decision to stay and get my associate degrees here. The faculty at MPCC has provided me with a challenging curriculum and an education that can be put up against any university.”

After graduating from MPCC, Flanders plans to transfer to a four-year college and major in accounting. Her goal is to obtain Certified Public Accountant certification and eventually open an accounting firm.

Until then, Flanders stays active at NPCC as a student ambassador and member of Phi Beta Lambda. Her other interests include: reading, spending time with friends and family and watching Husker football.

“As an instructor at MPCC, I am excited and proud to see Karli Flanders honored as Business Student of the Month’,” said Kathleen McCune, business instructor. “Karli possesses the work ethic that brands her as a standout student. Her course preparation and commitment to education are evident in the classroom. It is enjoyable and exciting to see her academic achievements unfold here at MPCC.”

Flanders is the daughter of Brian and Kim Flanders of North Platte.
