“I always tell the kids I coach that it’s OK if you want to get into the workforce, but you have to get an education. Whether it’s online, on campus, I don’t care. Just get an education.”
“There’s always going to be ups and downs, and you’re going to have those days where you just feel like this isn’t worth it or you don’t want to do it anymore. Stick with it. It will be worth it in the end, and you will be proud that you did it.”
“The classes were very informational. I’d be able to pull up what I was doing with our clients at work and understand exactly what we were doing and why were doing it because of the classes I took.”
“This is the best decision I've made, and the only time I ever get angry with myself is that I didn't do it sooner. It goes fast. I was in it for almost three years, and it feels like I just started. Just be patient with yourself, give yourself grace, stick with it, and don't be afraid to ask for help.”
“God put it on my heart that it was time to go back. I didn’t know where I was going or how I was going to do it, but I knew that I really loved UL Lafayette and that if I can go through all that school and make good grades, I deserve to finish off with something.”
“It was easy to navigate, and the instructors answered questions promptly. University staff would actually reach out throughout the semesters to see if I had questions and see how I was doing. It was nice to have the constant support.”
"There are not many things you get to do as big as this. Enjoy the experience, take it slow, and ask questions when they come up because UL Lafayette has a huge support system. That’s one of the reasons I decided to go back.”
“A lot of employers that we collaborate with come back semester after semester asking for more of our students. That’s how we know we’re doing something right.”
