Kayla Benton
Alumna of the Month

 

Each month, The Skipper Report will feature one of our Mercy sisters as Alumna of the Month. We look to recognize alumnae who are doing exciting things, or who have made exceptional contributions to their chosen field or profession. We welcome your nominations for future Alumnae of the Month. This month, we are pleased to showcase Kayla Benton, class of 2008.

 

 

Kayla Benton, Class of 2008

Congratulations go out Kayla Benton, our alumna of the month. This past December, Kayla graduated cum laude from Prairie View A&M University's College of Nursing. Kayla is the daughter of alumna, Dr. Kimberly Lucas Benton, class of 1980, and current member of Mercy's Board of Directors. If graduating with honors was not enough to make her family proud, Kayla also became an officer in the United States Army as she was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant, having been a participant in Prairie View A&M's ROTC program. We are so proud of Kayla's accomplishments. She is another wonderful example of a Mercy woman making a difference in the world!
