Words from our alumni

I just wanted to let you know that Bluffton has already served me well. On December 1, I started as the Safety Service Director (City Manager) for the city of Greenville. I could not have gotten this position without my degree from Bluffton. I had the experience, but without my bachelor's degree, I would not have been eligible to apply. Additionally, I taught a class at Edison CC this fall, and again, without my degree, I would not have been eligible to teach the class.
 
 I would like to thank you and all of the staff at Bluffton. The BCOMP program has helped me in a wonderful way.

"Thank you, thank you for not letting me give up"

Naomi Baker
I think about the time I almost gave up because I was so overwhelmed working two jobs and going to school. Thank you, thank you for not letting me give up. This has been one of the hardest journeys in my life- but I am so thankful that I made this journey. I have learned so much more beyond classroom and textbooks. I feel like I am a better person and I am more caring and involved with my surroundings and my community. I know that I would not have had such a fulfilling educational experience anywhere other than Bluffton. Not only does the teaching staff at Bluffton take interest in you, but administration as well. You can tell that all of your staff is truly genuine and they want you to succeed!

I am now able to carry on this attitude and encourage my students. When they feel like giving up I can truly appreciate where they are coming from and offer advice and support to help them succeed. Before this journey I did not understand the importance of having a bachelor's degree. I remember saying (in frustration) more than once, "It is only a piece of paper!" I was so very WRONG! I have learned so much about the value of a good education and how important it is in every aspect of my life–not just for job advancement–but in my personal life as well! This degree had helped me grow in many ways and my wonderful experience at Bluffton is something that I will carry with me forever!
