Abigail in a field

As a transfer student, I received a ton of support and mentorship during my time at Concordia Texas. Because of the small class sizes, I had many professors multiple times, which helped me build strong connections and grow in confidence. When I first transferred, I was introverted and nervous about being away from my family. Over time, I grew personally and professionally, gaining valuable experience through campus jobs, mentorships, and leadership opportunities. The relationships and support I found at Concordia truly shaped me.
