Making a Dream a Reality
March 2024
Corinne Case, a Utah native, has been a go-getter from a young age—running marathons, traveling internationally, and tackling various jobs and sports. Her infectious optimism and hardworking spirit make her a source of laughter and positivity for those around her.
While pursuing a business management major at BYU-Idaho, Corinne met her fiancé, Tanner. The two will be married in May 2024. Thanks to supportive peers and faculty members and to financial aid options, Corinne successfully balanced her classroom commitments with jobs and a bustling extracurricular schedule. Describing her time at BYU-Idaho she says, “These opportunities have allowed me not only to get an education, but the flexibly to explore various career paths to figure out what I would like most to do.”
Recalling a specific instance Case says, “During one of my online classes, I was serving as Relief Society president and only had a few hours when I could meet with my study group. I communicated that to my professor, and he was so helpful in pairing me up with students who were able to meet in the time frame I had available . I’m really grateful for donors, peers, and professors who have helped my dream of obtaining a degree to become a reality. I couldn’t have done it without them.”
