Student and Alumni Stories

Each student and alumnus brings a unique perspective and life story. Together, you share a common objective: to emerge educated and empowered to achieve lifelong success. Compelling student and alumni stories reflect the values embraced by the SBNM Program.

Our student, our faculty, and our alumni are everyday heroes because they are transforming communities and changing lives through their work; heroes because they're effectively leading business and nonprofit enterprises into the 21st century; heroes because they're making ethical choices; and heroes because they're balancing school with work and family.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
