Under her leadership, the chapter has earned national recognition, securing the Most Improved Chapter Award in 2021 and the Chapter Achievement Award in 2022. Reflecting on her achievement, Wettergreen said, “I’m incredibly honored and humbled to receive the Rho Chi Advisor of the Year Award. It has been a privilege to support such an outstanding group of students and see their dedication to excellence flourish.”
