Blue Dragon Spotlight – Brie Brawner – Presented by Hutchinson Community College

By Matt Browning

One of the more appealing aspects to attending Hutchinson Community College is how easy it is to connect with the students and professors.

That was one of biggest reasons Brie Brawner, a Haven graduate, chose Hutch CC.

“Since being on campus, I’ve really come to appreciate the close-knit community,” Brawner said. “There’s a lot of pride in being a Blue Dragon, and you can feel that energy at games and events. The instructors are approachable and genuinely want to see you succeed.

The reputation Hutch CC has with its academics and athletics was another reason Brawner wound up a Blue Dragon.

I was looking for a place where I could grow and be challenged, and Hutch offered that balance,” Brawner said. “The coaching staff was very welcoming and made it clear that they cared about me not just as an athlete, but as a person. Compared to other schools I was considering; Hutch had a more family-oriented feel.”

Brawner said that if any perspective student was interested in going to Hutch CC, they should know that if they are willing to put in the time, Hutch CC has all of the tools to help them succeed.

I would definitely recommend Hutch to any high school senior, whether they’re pursuing athletics or just looking for a good start to their college journey,” Brawner said. “It’s a place where you can grow, find direction, and be supported every step of the way. Take the time to visit campus, meet the people, and see what Hutch is all about.”
