Susan’s experience at NLU has been enriched by the caring and supportive campus community. Instructors have been more than educators; they’ve become mentors, providing her with the tools and encouragement needed to excel. As an older student, Susan initially felt intimidated but soon realized that she was valued and accepted by her instructors. One memorable moment was when an instructor challenged her to draw from her vast experience, reminding her of her value. This mantra has empowered Susan to overcome self-doubt and push her boundaries.
