What they're saying...

 

  • The professors and staff went out of their way to help me succeed in my classes. There were also many opportunities to be involved outside of the classroom that enhanced my student experience. I’m grateful for all the knowledge and skills it gave me.

  • My professors helped me with my honors thesis and applications for grad school. I am a first-gen student who’ll be the first in my family to get a bachelor’s. I’m hoping to end up at the Pentagon or in the FBI.
