Kasey Mohr did not excel in a traditional college setting. She went to a big state school for about six months before moving back home to Defiance. A self-proclaimed work-a-holic, Mohr took an entry-level job as a personal banker at Fifth Third Bank, but she knew she needed to continue her education to progress in her career. After earning an associate degree from Northwest State Community College, Mohr enrolled in Bluffton’s blended degree-completion program while working full-time.
