What our students are saying
"VALUE has pushed me outside my comfort zone but within a supportive framework. Research has always scared me as someone planning to graduate from a doctoral program. VALUE is giving me both a challenge and a success I can use as a foundation for future academic endeavors."
- Jonathan Jett, 2018-19 Research Scholar, Prattville, AL
