Garrett Mikulka
Garrett Joseph Mikulka graduated in December 2019 with an English Literature degree and a minor in writing. He will jump straight into graduate studies, starting an English PhD program at Indiana University. “One of the best parts about Lee is the faculty,” Garrett said. “Professors, particularly in the English department but also some in Classics, took my academic goals seriously and helped me get on the path towards graduate level work.”
