Arne is not just a top student-athlete; she’s also a leader in her community, a member of the Mu Alpha Theta mathematics honor society, and Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders.
“As a member of Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders, I have tutored first- and second-year students who need help in math. My favorite academic subject is math,” she said.
