Friends University Testimonial

For me, Friends University has been the best investment I have made in my education. The personal growth I have seen in my time spent at Friends is astonishing. I have overcome challenges and obstacles that I would not have been able to if I had not attended Friends University. The community that surrounds this school is something I will never forget, and the relationships that have been built during my attendance here will last a lifetime.

Todd Volkmann, Exhibit Caretaker, Kansas Wildlife Exhibit

The Kansas Wildlife Exhibit is thankful for the countless contributions from Friends University’s ConservationScience Program students. The partnership has been beneficial as Friends University Conservation Science students accomplish needed tasks in a short amount of time and student volunteers help with daily care, enrichment activities, and engage with the public. Students have made a lasting impression on the thousands of people who visit the KWE and follow along on social media. A Friends University student even started the KWE Instagram account.

Zach Rich, 2016 Graduate, Bachelor of Music in Music Performance

Friends University provided me the opportunity to explore and develop all facets of music while allowing me to pursue a jazz concentration in trombone performance. This was a great steppingstone to further my career as a full-time freelance musician and pursue a doctorate in jazz studies. I hope to teach jazz at the university level one day and share my passion for making music that enriches lives and helps others do the same.
