"I am honored and blessed to be a part of Immaculata University. IU instructors are great, and they have taught me all that it takes to be successful in whatever I put my mind to. There were times that I struggled between work and school, but I chose not to let go. During difficult times of my studies, I met with instructors, communicated via emails, made use of the writing center and other learning materials, and they were very helpful. At IU, my strength and courage grew as I continue working towards my goal."
