One-to-one mentoring is a cornerstone of the NCU
learning model and, for Jenifer Evans, that individual
support made her education a positive experience.
Support has been a key theme in Evans' life. From a
childhood riddled with sexual abuse, she progressed
to finding support for her sister and father, which
allowed her to triumph over her past, find incredible
success and now help others as a mentor.
"For a person to share their knowledge to
help others avoid mistakes is a priceless
gift," she said. "NCU's one-to-one
learning model caught my eye. I could
go at my own pace."
Evans herself has been a mentor since
she was a teenager for organizations
that helped her most on her journey,
including the Children's Alliance of
Hawaii and the Puahia Mentoring
Program at the University of Hawaii
at Manoa.
Evans shared that her NCU professors
provided "amazing feedback," which
helped her grow. "Earning a master's
isn't an easy endeavor," she admits, "but
with the support that NCU provided, I am
thrilled with my decision to have earned
my degree here."
Evans currently teaches a second grade
class at Moanalua Elementary School in
Honolulu.
