Student Perspectives

• Berra Kabarungi '14

  I continually experience things that remind me that life itself is a school.

  Berra Kabarungi, a former Rwandan refugee and Social Work graduate, was more than an international student. She uprooted her successful career and life for a new identity as a student at a small, liberal arts college that was unknown to her. Ask any student, alumni, faculty, or staff that met Berra and they'll tell you – she made every moment count.
• Donté Montague '15

  I felt like a valued member of MBU before I even decided to attend.

  Donté Montague had earned his degree and found work, but then he realized he wanted more than just a job. He wanted to make a difference as a teacher. His MBU advisor encouraged him to pursue his master of arts in teaching, so he could earn a graduate degree and teacher licensure at the same time.
• Emily Duncan ' 19

  I am excited to be at a school that cares about me and my future.

  Emily Duncan came to MBU from a large online undergraduate program, where she often felt like she was just a number, not a student. The first conversation she had with her new advisor in our Online and Distance Learning program was a breath of fresh air. They sat down, talked about her educational goals, and mapped out a personalized plan to reach them.
