How has the PKFEA program benefited your personal, professional, or academic growth?
The Peter Kiewit Academy was probably the best thing to have happened to me. I am profoundly grateful for the comprehensive support provided, including the full coverage of my education, housing, food, and other essential needs. Over the past few years, the Academy has equipped me with invaluable resources necessary for academic success and has fostered crucial connections, enabling me to build a strong professional network. Quite frankly, the guidance and structure provided by the Academy have been foundational; without their mentorship, I would have struggled immensely with navigating the complexities of college life, from registering for classes and finding advisors to simply knowing where to seek help. My deepest appreciation goes to the Peter Kiewit Academy for investing in my future.
