“I think if we can come together to support our students it just means a greater university for us all - it’s greater for the students, teachers, staff and everyone involved. And hopefully, once students see the support that is behind them, when they become alumni, they then offer that same support to potential students, to new students, to new graduates.”

Jackie Jackson
Director of Annual Giving & UCM alumna
“When students come to UCM they’re looking for a community that supports them. That goes from faculty to the staff that works here to our alumni community; to help them enjoy their experience and get the very most out of it.”

Dustin Davis
Exercise Science student
“UCM is well situated to provide the attention that students need; it’s not too big, but it’s not too small either. You have a fair number of students that get adequate attention from all the faculty they have. Personally as a student, I've been in a department that has had multiple individuals who are in teaching roles take the time out of their day to meet with me, to help me with assignments, develop projects and also to help me in the lab learn skills that I otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn.”
