When students enter college, they often have a vision for their lives and a plan for the path they want to take. However, their interests may change over time, leading them to a place they never imagined. MBU Timeline field reporter Dylan White interviewed MBU students who found their plans changed since they’ve been in college and learned you don’t need to have all the answers.
After years of careful planning, the Missouri Baptist University School of Nursing opened its doors in January, welcoming 21 future nurses to their new program.
