“The College of the Ozarks was and always will be the best thing that ever happened to me. Any successes I enjoy, I attribute to the opportunities, education and influences afforded me by the College of the Ozarks.

I contend that a person’s college years are their most formative. Because I was so blessed to receive my higher education at a college that places a premium on work ethic, biblically-based morality, individual character and service to mankind, I face the rest of my life with what society considers to be an entirely different outlook. My friendships from college will be lifelong and positive influences. The core values of C of O are without question my own core values. College of the Ozarks produces real leaders for today’s society.”
