Testimonials

Jorge testimonial image for Brandman

When you take those things that you learn in school and apply it, it makes so much sense how you're able to lead; and then you become a better leader. Within two years after going back to school I was recognized and received a 2018 non-commission officer of the year award. And that was all, I feel, because of my education.

Jorge H.
Applied Studies, BA

My advice to someone going back to school is to stop making excuses and just do it. You’re never going to be 100% ready and the timing is never going to be exactly perfect, which just means that every moment is an equally good enough time to start.
