Student Testimonials

Victoria Jeremy Boles Courtney Boaz Tevin Terry Diandra Matthews

"I chose education because I truly believe anytime you want to impact a community — or definitely a generation — it starts with education. So far within my career in music, I love seeing how people have connected to it, and just that connection — it shows me how important community is. I hope that I can serve in a civic capacity where I can use music but also influence people."

Victoria, Elementary Education Major, '22

Meet Victoria

"My biggest piece of advice is 'Don't give up — you can do it!' And be involved — most employers want a service-minded individual; not someone who only focuses on what they can get out of something."

Jeremy, Human Resource Management Major, '20

Meet Jeremy

"I wanted to see the school, and when I brought my transcripts in, they accepted me on the spot and picked out my classes for me. Everyone immediately took me in and tried to be helpful and get me under their wing. It was such an amazing experience all around that I decided on the spot that this is where I wanted to go."

Courtney, Psychology Major, '20

Meet Courtney

"The day that I knew I was passionate about the natural world, I wanted to not only learn more about it, but teach and educate others of its significance. Growing up, Steve Irwin was my hero. I would binge-watch him and Jeff Corwin on Animal Planet non-stop — before binge-watching was even a thing!"

"Everything that I was trying to do for DAYS at that other school, I was able to do in one day here. It was pretty great."
