What do you like most about your program? What I enjoy most about my program is how supportive the professors are in assisting the students in preparation for becoming counselors and other professional opportunities that they would like to endeavor.

What advice would you give to current students at BVU? Go make mistakes, go explore, put yourself out there! You only get one life, make the most of your time here because memories will be made that you'll talk about long after you walk back through that arch for graduation.
