"With two semesters left to graduate, financial obligations made it impossible for me to make my original major's required internship abroad. Through the GUS program, I was able to graduate with a generalized degree. My advisor helped me to realize my goal of becoming the first person in my extended family to graduate from college."
~Katie B., GUS graduate

"For years I have worked three jobs, seven days a week and have raised two kids on my own. I never thought I would be able to add finishing my degree into the mix. Thanks to the GUS program, I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and will be graduating in the spring....it feels good!"
