“I came to Everglades University to study business and advance in my culinary career. I plan to open a new restaurant one day or manage an established one. Here at the Tampa campus, everyone is really welcoming, and it is a place where I know I can grow because everyone is supportive, including the staff and my classmates. Right now I am in MAN3065 Business Ethics with Dr. Carrillo, and we have been talking about how to make ethical decisions as a business. We are learning about companies’ previous mistakes in order to raise awareness of potential errors. The Everglades University Tampa campus is small, well-kept and clean. It is a comforting environment for the students.”

“I came to Everglades University to continue my education, using my GI bill benefits. I have nothing but positive things to say about Everglades University. The classes are smaller and more intimate. The staff and faculty are extremely helpful, and they answer any question I have. I am majoring in business administration because I have always been interested in being business owner. As a student, I have motivation and pride in anything I do. With my leadership experience from the military, I am a good leader that people can talk to.”
