“William Paterson has been a dream come true. My time here has revealed to me the significance of being united with my peers and my ability to overcome any obstacle that stands before me. I am proud to say I am graduating in May 2017. It is truly a blessing that would not have been possible without the support and love of my colleagues, professors, and mentors on campus.
Throughout the years, I was able to network with so many professionals that encouraged me to reach every goal I set for myself and to never give up on a dream. I can finally say I am the first male in my family to graduate from a university, and I can continue my dream of becoming a famous music artist with confidence. William Paterson is the university that helps you realize that any dream is possible if you’re willing to work for it. It was a dream to finish college, and now it has finally become a reality. Thank you, William Paterson.”
