A.J. Vang was selected as the Butler County Community College Profile of the Month for February. He was a first team All-Jayhawk conference offensive linemen for the Grizzlies in 2019 and made 25 consecutive starts between his freshman and sophomore season.

Currently, Vang is playing football at North Alabama, but Butler prepared him for the next stop in his educational career, plus wherever he ends up professionally. “Yes, Butler prepared me in a lot of ways,” Vang said. “They helped me understand how classes worked, how exams should be studied for, and that it is okay to get out of your comfort zone.”

Vang took the majority of his General Education classes at Butler, like Psychology, Sociology and more. But there was one class that stood out more than others. “My favorite would have to be astronomy,” Vang said. “It was very interesting learning about our solar system and how everything works.”

Butler offered multiple educational services to Vang, specifically tutors, who are seemingly available whenever there is a need. “I have been able to use the tutors that have been provided to us whenever we need help,” Vang said. “They are truly helpful.”

Vang said he would encourage students to attend Butler. He said the student life was something he enjoyed and everyone on campus was friendly and nice.

He also said the cost and class sizes were more pluses for prospective students. “My top recommendation about Butler is that it is very affordable and very personalized,” Vang said. “I did not have a class bigger than 25 kids.”
