Testimonial
Dr. Julillian Davis gave me a sneak peek into my own future. I watched her balance her school life, work life, and ministry duties. I knew that if she could finish well, so could I. I’m currently two semesters away from finishing my Bachelor’s degree in education, and I’m not stopping until I’m Tatyana C. McKnight, Ph.D. I will be a first-generation graduate thanks to Dr. Julillian’s example and determination.
