alumni profile
Rochester Christian University provided the practical knowledge I needed to begin a career in business leadership. It was refreshing to attend a college with a focus on living my faith in my career. After graduating, I transitioned into education: what I learned at RCU proved to be a major asset while serving as an elementary school principal and facilitating school turnaround. I am grateful for RCU and its mission.
