It`s National Transfer Student Week, and we`re celebrating the amazing transfer students who have joined our Bushnell family!
We recently caught up with Aidan Bolton, a new transfer student studying psychology with a focus on forensics, to hear about his experience at Bushnell so far:
“Bushnell has been exceptionally welcoming. From students to faculty, to classrooms or student life, the people at Bushnell have shown me what it feels like to live in a Christ-centered community. This is a place where I feel like I can belong, with people who help me to be the best version of myself."
We`re grateful for Aidan and all our transfer students, along with the families who support them throughout their journeys!
