Rebecca Kowall did.  Rebecca will be graduating with a Bachelors degree in Human Resource Management and a minor in Business Administration. She took full advantage of the PLA opportunity, and because of this, she reached her intended goal of graduating in May 2013.  She successfully earned 21 general elective credits, which saved her just over $11,000 in tuition.
