Kirkwood Student Rebecca Mbali

“English is my second language which can obviously make some coursework more difficult to understand, but professors here really make an effort to communicate directly with me. One of my Marketing teachers in particular, Todd Saville, made sure that I understood what I needed to and gave me the space and time to translate and complete class projects.”
