Bio: Hey everyone, I am so excited to begin my first year as a peer mentor! My name is Graceanne Crumpton, and I am currently a sophomore on the pre-medicine track. A few of my favorite things are going to all of the football games, getting coffee with friends, and singing really really loud in my car. I can't wait to meet new students and have a fun year together! Go Tigers!
