I started working at GROOVE U in the fall of 2012, alongside the inaugural class of students. The thing that strikes me the most about this program is the dedication to the success of each individual student. I saw this demonstrated time and time again. It first starts during the admission process. Each prospective student meets with the founder/director, who knows right away if GROOVE U is a good match for the student. And then there were the countless times when students had personal issues or special circumstances, and I saw GROOVE U staff and faculty go above and beyond to accommodate students, and give them second (or even third) chances. That kind of individualized care and concern does not exist at other colleges and universities. At GROOVE U, the student comes first. The other thing I will say is that I value the relationships I made with both staff and students. While I left GROOVE U to start my own consulting business, I still meet up with graduates, staff and students to grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. GROOVE U is certainly is a special place. Consider yourself blessed if you get to be a part of it.
