wue testimonial

"Honestly, if it weren't for the WUE program, I don't know how I would afford college, especially out of state since it so expensive. The fact that people are investing their time and money towards my education is just an amazing, yet overwhelming feeling to know how much support I have to become successful and less of a statistic. WUE has helped me realize that I want to pursue a career in Student Affairs and Higher Education so I too can contribute to the process of having students realize that they are meant to go to college and be successful rather than look at furthering their education as a foreign concept. WUE, along with the support of everyone around made me realize that anything truly is possible."
