Where did you go to college, and what did you like most about your experience? Collab Connections

“I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Utah and earned my graduate degree from Liberty University, where I appreciated the flexible learning options and strong support for adult students and working professionals. The academic rigor and resources provided at both colleges were well-structured with clear pathways to career readiness, research opportuni- ties, internships, and career services.” Bernice Ova Specialist II, College Curriculum

“I attended Howard University. HU! I loved the sense of family and community on campus. Some of the thoughtful instructors and friendships I made have endured

“I attended The Tennessee State University (TSU), which is an HBCU (historically Black college and university). I wholeheartedly loved my experience at TSU because it helped shape me into the woman I am today. TSU has been my ‘true north’ and is where I discovered the power of education and the strength within myself. Through rigorous coursework, meaningful relationships, and transformative experience, I grew as an individual. TSU provided the compass that guided me toward purpose, resilience, and leadership and shaped me into the professional I am today.” Crystal Doss Supervisor, Admissions

“I went to Brigham Young University and Texas Tech University. I enjoyed my time at BYU and gained so many skills. However, I loved my smaller classes at Texas Tech. I felt like my master’s [program] was so well-planned and executed. It elevated my level of thinking and problem-solving.” Marjorie Miller Assistant Professor II General Education

“I graduated from California State University, Chico with a BS in health science and a minor in Spanish. I loved the California campus experience in a beautiful college town. It was a time of exploration and growth as an individual. Next, I graduated from California State University, Sacramento with a BSN, which required a lot of focus and study. I then graduated from UCLA, with a master’s in nursing administration, a great experience that tied my educational goals to my work responsibilities in a hospital. Finally, I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a doctor- ate in nursing practice and executive leadership. I loved this school, its history, values, and strong sense of tradition. All California schools that promoted learning and precious memories!” Kathleen Penzes Professor, Didactic
