"Our program takes pride in student excellence which is defined by the level of student achievement and the measure of student learning. As promising scholars join our program, we are ready to take MEP to the next level," comments Marie.

Student services are Marie's passion and she loves to "help students empower themselves by taking advantage of all that higher education has to offer with the assistance of support programs."
