After serving in the Army as a nurse in Korea and Germany, Mindy Klaproth returned home to Melbourne, Florida with the determination to finish her bachelor’s degree. DirectConnect to UCF made the transition to UCF easier—and she could finish close to home. "UCF was a perfect fit. UCF had a great reputation and a campus close to Melbourne that was smaller and calmer than the Orlando campus." But Mindy hasn’t just served overseas. Her hands-on experience as a nurse has allowed her to learn more about nursing before she graduates. "When I have a patient thank me, it just makes me feel wonderful, like I’m doing what I should be doing."
