Alumni Spotlight

Reconnecting in life after The Woods

“I really enjoyed the small campus environment since I came from a town of 2,000. The people were inviting and the professors cared about me as a person. It was so hard to leave everything I knew, but The Woods made that transition easier and gave me what I’ll always concider my second home!”

Isaiah Buse ’23

Owner/Publisher

“From the very start the University made sure I had people looking out for me and people to go to. I genuinely felt that people cared about me on a personal level.”

Aurora Lucie Henriksen ’20

Cybersecurity Consultant

“What I found was that the atmosphere, the smaller atmosphere, plus the connections you could make, and that people knew your name, and that your professors knew you, all meant that you could really find a home at William Woods.”

Michele (Gallipeau) Markey ’82
