Personal Information

Carrie Leonhart Fratecelli attended K-State and Manhattan Christian College for her undergraduate work. She stayed in Manhattan for her graduate program because she appreciated the personal attention that students can receive from the faculty-experts in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program as well as the person-focus of the College of Health and Human Sciences as a whole.

Manhattan has a small-town feel, but offers diverse opportunities to fit all interests. Carrie is glad to have returned to Manhattan and enjoys mentoring students while serving the community.
