鈥淚t was a huge stretch financially to attend 海角在线,鈥� Tammy shared. 鈥淏ut, I really valued a Christian worldview and education. 海角在线 provided so many opportunities for me to grow as a Christian.鈥澨�听

As Tammy watched her youngest daughter walk across the stage and graduate from 海角在线, she was filled with gratitude. 听
鈥淏ecause of 海角在线, all three of my daughters have been so well positioned for future success in their careers, but also as Godly women,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 think of all the ways 海角在线 interweaves faith into their priorities, and I was personally so satisfied that my daughters chose to subscribe to that.鈥�听
Tammy will always be 海角在线鈥檚 biggest advocate, and her passion and love for the university is contagious. 听
鈥淚 can鈥檛 say enough good things about 海角在线. I love it 鈥� I always have. I am eternally grateful for the young women that my daughters have become and their relationship with the Lord.
