She drove the 90-mile round-trip to classes in Coeur d'Alene and the 250-mile round-trip to Moscow occasionally. She even brought her children along with her to Spanish Study Abroad class located at Tecnologico De Monterrey, Querétaro, Mexico. Her drive to complete her degree and her devotion to her children helped her go the extra mile. Hanson received the UI Alumni of Excellence Award in December. ^Garren Taylor, a PE major from Kellogg, already is devoted to youth of northern Idaho. For the last seven years, he has led the Young Explorers Society in Kellogg, which works with teenagers. He is a supervisor for Idaho's Summer Youth Program and is a certified disc jockey. He often volunteers his time for schools, and currently student-teaches in Kellogg. He served four years in the U.S. Army, with a year in Korea and two and half in Tacoma, Wash.
