the impact of an education
|
everyone has faced a different story on their journey to education, the College of
Business alumni family can likely all attest to the impact their education has had on their lives. Recently, the College collected alumni stories and surveyed the University’s potential audience of students. We found that even today, many students are first-generation college students. A number of them are also non-traditional students, attending school with children, working multiple jobs to support their studies, or have even come from financial struggles in their families. For most of our alumni, the impact of their education and the change it made in their lives has been profound. Nearly every graduate noted that their life would be significantly different had they not attended college, and their confidence and abilities were broadened beyond what they ever realized they were capable of. The experiences they gained in their college career provided them with the tools to continue to broaden their horizons, their understanding and their abilities. Following, are just two brief alumni stories. These are the stories of individuals who may have overcome struggles, lived out their dreams and through an education- changed the outcome of their lives.
