"Starting university at 37 years of age and being a mom was definitely a challenge. This is where I wanted to be but was not so sure that I could do it. With the help of all the professors I have had in the past 3 years, they showed me that I can. They have provided encouragement & support, most times having more confidence in me than I have in myself. They provided me the tools to excel beyond the goals I have set for myself and have given me confidence that I can and will get my degree. All the professors I have taken classes from greet me by name and those I don't know always say hi. This is really comforting. Several professors stop and ask how my boys are and this means a lot not only being acknowledged as a student, but as a mom. As I have two potential future students for STU and these are the people I want them to be educated by. I can and will graduate with a degree and this is all because of the great people our professors are. Had they not been as encouraging, supportive and helped me get through the "Can I do this?" phase, I would be back in the work force and not a student at STU. Professors, thank you all, for all the encouragement and confidence that you have provided in the past 3 years and I am sure it will continue. Lynn Fraser Anthropology & Psychology."
