I cannot put into words how instrumental Mr. Lee Sampson, Dr. Jade Pumphrey and Catherine Williams were in keeping me engaged and motivated as an adult online undergraduate student. Being an adult online student can be an isolating experience. But, even though I was three hours away from Ashland, I still felt as if I were a traditional student who attended classes at the main campus. I will always be grateful for the high levels of professionalism, care and concern that were shown to me all the way up to graduation in May 2018. Those three people are indeed the heart of AU. Because of them, I am now continuing my academic career, pursuing my Master’s in Criminal Justice degree at the University of Cincinnati. Couldn’t have done it without them!
