Child Development and Family Studies B.S.
Jill Lenihan teaches children who are blind or visually impaired and needed teaching credentials to take advantage of an opportunity that came up to further help these children.
“I was very engaged. I still have connections with my professors, even the one from my very first class.”
“Outstanding”
Jill Lenihan teaches children who are blind or visually impaired and needed teaching credentials to take advantage of an opportunity that came up to further help these children.
“Unfortunately, I had never completed college when I was younger and could not pursue teaching credentials until I had my bachelor’s degree. These children are extremely important to me, so I began researching my options.”
She was quickly bombarded by online schools and felt very overwhelmed.
“Then, I happened to (thankfully) reach out to WVU to see what online programs were offered. WVU cared about me. It didn’t take long to discover that WVU was the place for me."
Her advice to others who are thinking of taking an online class is “Do it!”
WVU is the place to go if you dreamed of getting a degree but thought you couldn’t do it. I’m a proud Mountaineer and you can be one too! Let’s go!”
