“ Class of 2025 ISIAH HEVERLING

AB will take me where I want to go.

My goal in life is to become a clinical psychologist and eventually earn a Ph.D. I know my college education will help me achieve financial stability, and my experiences here at AB will enrich my future.

MY FOCUS MY EXPERIENCE

I am very goal-orientated and driven to succeed, so maintaining a 4.0 GPA is a top priority. I look forward to making new friends and finding my place in the world.

When faced with adversity, I adapt until the adversity is no longer a challenge, but something in my rear view mirror. I push myself to perform as a student, and as a personuntil I succeed.

“ KAITLIN JONES ’21 PA Class of 2024

AB takes your passion and turns it into a profession.

I majored in biology and minored in chemistry. I knew that by concentrating in science and learning how the world works was the path to realizing my dream of becoming a Physician Assistant. I took advantage of campus life as a member of the Natural Resource Club and earned a place in the Silver Key Honor Society.

MY

POTENTIAL

AB and my College experiences have made me into the woman I am today – a strong, dedicated, and diligent person ready to take on the next chapter in my life, whatever that may be.

MY FUTURE

I have always wanted a life filled with happiness and a career that helps my family, as they have always provided for me. While I may be progressing from undergraduate student to graduate student, both journeys take place at AB. Armed with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, I plan to remain a Battler and earn a Master of Science in the Physician Assistant program.

...BECOME A COMMUNITY

Become part of the family here at Alderson Broaddus University. Your academic experience at AB will be enhanced by becoming an on-campus resident, participating in campus events and joining one of the many clubs and organizations.
