What does Commencement/graduation mean to you?

To me it means that I was able to achieve something despite the obstacles given to me. 

Did you have to overcome any difficult challenges during your education to make it to graduation? If so, what were they?

Making the choice of going back to school during a pandemic was a difficult one but it worked out in the end. I was able to get a flexible schedule that fit my needs. 

What has your experience at NLU been like?

My experience has been great, I felt included and taken cared of while I was there. 

What are your plans for the future?

I have a job lined up in my field and I'm excited to get started.
