“UMA Ellsworth Center has been such a blessing to me. Being here has made me realize how valuable getting an education is and also how much joy it brings to my life. The only thing I would have done differently would be to go back to college sooner!”
– Kimberly Webster

“The UMA Ellsworth Center was one of the entities that saved my life. After my wife died, I wanted to make her proud, but I didn’t know where to start. A good friend brought me over and my new life began. Without this Center, I wouldn’t be in school. I owe everything to this Center and the wonderful people within it.”
– Mathew Alley

“UMA Ellsworth Center really opens doors for non-traditional students like me. I am studying nursing because I feel like it is a good way to give back to my community. The Center has definitely been useful for me in terms of its convenience and helpful staff. If you are considering college in the Ellsworth community and don’t know where to start, UMA Ellsworth Center gives you the support you need to succeed!”
– Tiara
