“I chose UWA because it is a quiet and beautiful campus that is close enough to home so that I can commute. There have been several professors who have impacted me, but one that really stood out was Professor R. Henley. He always has his students’ best interests in mind. He helped and encouraged me to do my best, not only in his class, but in all my classes. My favorite part about my major is problem-solving and the potential to work remotely. No matter what major you choose, always give 110%. The more effort you put into it, the farther you will go. There are so many possibilities within the realm of accounting. Everyone at UWA is so friendly and welcoming. No matter if it is students, faculty, or staff, you will never meet a stranger. There is truly “something about this place.”
