Alumni - Legacy Articles
Our alumni students are the history of our university. The stories they share with us are not only inspiring, but also motivational. Earning your degree is more than just about having a new career but it's also about how much it can change your life in ways you would never have known.
We have been able to gather alumni stories from all different generations from our students, including one former student who was in the original graduating class of 1941 - that's 75 years ago! Click on the articles below to read more.
