Attending a small college like Newberry provided me a unique educational experience that you can’t find everywhere. Not only do you gain the tools needed to succeed in most occupations, but you learn them in a personalized and exclusive setting that immediately sets you apart from others in the workforce. My Newberry College experience helped give me the tools I needed to follow my dreams of running my own business.
