I am grateful for the education and level of care I received from professors in the Business Department at UNC Asheville. The professors consistently went above and beyond to help me in my undergraduate experience, staying late to answer all of my meticulous questions, writing recommendations, and even helping me with my grandparent’s taxes. The tight-knit community and close relationships I had with my professors made them more than instructors. They were role models.
