- Hi, my name is Christine Broussard.
I'm a faculty member in
the Biology Department
at the University of La Verne.
I'm so glad that you've expressed
interest in our program,
and I hope to tell you a little bit
about myself and about the program
to help you get to know the university.
I value education, and I know firsthand
the power education has
in transforming lives.
I was the first person in
my family to go to college,
and the only one to earn a PhD.
In order to get to college,
I had to pay for it myself.
I earned scholarships, I took out loans,
and I worked three jobs.
And I got financial aid like Pell Grants
in order to help me through.
Because of my education,
I'm now a professor at the
University of La Verne.
And I'm able to do research
with students like you
and to teach a variety
of different classes.
But more than just the
day-to-day activities
that I do, I feel like this
career is a fit for me,
and allows me to help make
the world a better place.
At La Verne, these are the things
that we talk to our students about.
What are your talents?
What are your interests and passions?
And how can you use them to
make the world a better place?
I really hope that you join
us on your educational journey
and look forward to meeting
you when you come to campus.
