I am so glad that I met everyone and for making me feel welcome. I realized I need to take control of my life because I will be taking care of myself a lot when I graduate.  I always have my family on my side.

The Academy has been a place where I can make friends. The Academy has helped me to find a job for when I am graduated and no longer with the Academy. 

The Academy has meant so much to me. It has helped me to grow as a person especially with my time management skills.

The Academy has helped me learn new things. The audit theater classes that I took were what I was interested in. The Academy social events were fun. Most of all, the Academy will help me have a better future.

I have really enjoyed being part of the Academy for the last 4 years. What the Academy means to me is spending time with classmates and teachers. I have liked learning new things here in KSU. It was great navigating how to be independent. Also, exploring around the campus has been a fun part of being here as well as being part of Owl Nation.

I’m so happy and grateful to be graduating. I’m glad I had the opportunity to gain self-confidence. I have learned about environments that help me thrive and the importance of being able to communicate the support that I need. I have learned a lot about myself throughout the years.

From everyone in the Deans Office and The Academy thank you so much for helping me. To our small conversations and to our laughs, it has meant everything to me. Thank you to everyone that has helped me on this journey. It was rough at times, but I made it through with your help.
