UNW was a catalyst for my academic and spiritual development. The classroom experience simply provides a framework for the relationships you develop outside the classroom, which leads to discussions of challenging ideas, prayer, and sometimes just laughter. I have integrated this into my career by operating everyday with purpose and humility—seeking excellence and the continued development of myself and my team.
