In Their Words

Attending the summer program enabled me to take classes, to begin managing my time correctly, and to experience campus living before my first year. The best part has been the opportunity to form long-lasting relationships with the faculty and staff and to get to know them on a personal level. Gateway has provided me the ability to grow as an individual and as a student as I develop my future career goals.
