“Unity found me…and that’s my favorite thing to say. I was in a jet ski in the middle of the water and I decided to fill out a contact card because I found you guys on social media. Unity has helped me by coming to me and giving me the freedom to travel and giving me the freedom to still work and own a business and be a woman and still live my life freely while chasing my education.”

“Unity gave me the ability to just go out into the world. Especially with Distance Education, not to be confined to the classroom, and actually put my knowledge and education to work. So I was actually out in the community doing stuff, while I was learning and actually applying the curriculum hands-on immediately.”

“Unity has been one of the best academic experiences I鈥檝e ever had. Being able to pick and choose my schedules, what classes I was taking. When to take them, how to take them. Made it so much more accessible. I was allowed to still do the things that I loved, whether it be going for a hike, going outside.聽 I was still able to do all of those things while still doing research at different聽 organizations. So it was really nice to kind of get that full opportunity to do everything at once.”

“Unity is flexible. Being able to take my classes from home and also work with a family. I鈥檓 married. I have a wife. I have a daughter. Being able to do all those things from home made it really easy and then also the coursework outside in the field as well. Because there are assignments where you need to make partnerships, you need to be out in the field. So, I really enjoyed that part of Unity and it just made it work out for me.”

“I really love the fact that Unity is so environmental centric. You know I wanted something that really resonated with what I feel. What I stand for. What I believe in. So you know working in the animal field and having a degree from Unity in an animal field is amazing cuz not many not many schools offer that and I think it’s fantastic.”
