Carrie Besnette
2008 9NEWS Leader of the Year
 On Wednesday, Carrie Besnette was honored as an emerging leader
at the 9NEWS Leader of the Year luncheon.
Besnette leads Metropolitan State as the college's Vice President
of Institutional Advancement. At the school, she works to drive
home the power of a college degree and the need for more access
to higher education. Besnette says both issues became dear to
her heart during her childhood. Both of her parents were educators. "I
watched that, and I grew up with that," Besnette said. "To
think that every young person wouldn't have a shot or an opportunity
to fulfill what they can do, [those concerns] became my calling."
