  NOTE: I've recently discovered that UW-Stout is claiming that I did not take a class needed to graduate, which I did (Entrepreneurship in which I was the CEO of the class, A+ thank you;-) and they are not indicating that I've graduated. I am currently trying to iron this out, and should have it cleared up soon.
