What LiFE Students are Saying
LiFE student, Eevin Mosby, tells the UofM Board of Trustees what the opportunity to
pursue his degree means to him
鈥淢y intent is to obtain a bachelor鈥檚 degree, obtain new skills and move up in the organization. It鈥檚 really convenient to work and on the financial side, if that鈥檚 one of the things holding you back.鈥�
-Esther Jackson, hub material handler and LiFE Student
鈥淩ight now I鈥檓 at a place where I鈥檓 more enthused about going back to school. I see my job differently now. I think what I really want out of it all is a better overall life, a way of life. I want to have a contribution to the job as well as my community. I think by this program being available for me, it will allow me to do those things.鈥�
-Deborah Clark, a team leader at FedEx and LiFE Student
