In Their Words
After I changed majors, Dr. Ann Berger-Knorr worked with me to play catch-up so I could graduate with my friends, even though I was a year behind on courses. Together, we created an outline of what classes to take and when. She never gave up on me.

I truly think that this community directly contributes to the success of its students and is invaluable to cultivating a society of individuals who are inspired to accomplish great things outside of the classroom.
