My fellow military folks, I don't see a better option. They support you financially. They support you as far as your life goes, all the chaotic deployments, everything that came with it. UMass Global supported me in those endeavors.
This wasn’t just a university; it was a support system. Professors didn’t just teach, they invested. They encouraged me when I doubted myself, challenged me when I played it safe, and reminded me that sometimes the only way forward is through.
