Small class sizes, scholarships and a strong sense of community brought Christian Lehr to Butler. The experience gave him a solid foundation as he prepared to continue his education and career.โฃโฃ
โฃ
At the time, Butlerโ€™s Fire Science program was new, and Lehr says the experience kept him engaged, even though his career eventually took a different direction.โฃโฃ
โฃ
After graduating from Butler, Lehr continued his education and began a career in banking in 2001. Today, he serves as SVP and Director of Treasury Management at Emprise Bank, helping customers reach their potential through automation, industry best practices and customized account management.โฃโฃ
โฃ
โ€œButler was an excellent transition for me after high school and gave me a solid college foundation to complete a bachelorโ€™s program.โ€โฃ

For Sherri Conard, Butler was an affordable way to begin her college education close to home. But her experience quickly became about much more than saving money.โฃโฃ
โฃ
As a student worker in the Financial Aid Office and an Ambassador for Admissions, Conard gained confidence, learned to balance work and school, and built friendships and connections that would stay with her long after graduation.โฃโฃ
โฃ
After earning her bachelorโ€™s degree from Emporia State University, Conard returned to Butler to begin her professional career โ€” and never left. Today, she is entering her 29th year as a Butler employee.โฃโฃ
โฃ
Butler has also become a family tradition. All three of Conardโ€™s children attended and graduated from Butler, and she and her husband have established a Foundation Scholarship to help todayโ€™s students begin their own Butler stories.โฃโฃ
โฃ
โ€œButler not only provided me with an affordable education, but it also gave me experiences that, at the time, I didnโ€™t know a community college provided.โ€โฃ

Austin Clift chose Butler over K-State after receiving a vocal music scholarship. What started as an opportunity to pursue music became a life-changing chapter filled with friendships, performances and memories that shaped his future.โฃโฃ
