TESTIMONIALS

My Huyen Nguyen, a native of Vietnam says, “I chose The University of Findlay because UF has an amazing TESOL Program with wonderful teachers. After coming to UF, I knew my decision was the right one. The

campus is beautiful and safe. The people are friendly and helpful.”

Lei Zhao, also known as Michael, is originally from Xi’an China, and chose The University of Findlay for two reasons. The first was the reputation and the accreditation of the Environmental, Safety and

Health Management Program. The second is because of the peaceful and safe atmosphere that surrounds the campus. “I feel I have a home here in the United States,” stated Lei.

When Maria Eugenia Velasquez Zavarce, a native of Caracas, Venezuela, decided to continue her education, all signs pointed her toward The University of Findlay. “I found the University had a distinguished MBA
