Samantha Kleitsch is not your typical student. This wife and mother of two had dreams as a young child of one day attending UM-Dearborn. She is now living that dream to the fullest extent. Samantha’s leadership roles include President of the Information Technology Management Club and Executive Vice President of the American Marketing Association. Her interest in information technology has lead her to become a Project Manager of SUCCESS and a Research Assistant for the College of Business Professors, where she will be teaching as a Graduate Assistant.

Samantha was a student in the very first class of University Bloggers and a U-Lead participant. “I have put my heart and soul into the work I have done. I feel I have been a strong example to other mothers so they can continue their education.” Of course Samantha knows making a difference starts at home. “My children have observed my values on higher education, causing an effect on the generations to come.”
