Class of ’26 · Business Management & Leadership

“I am incredibly grateful for the financial support that allows me to show up hungry to compete on the baseball field and serve the Buena Vista community. This has allowed me to focus on my studies in Business Management and Leadership. My time at SVU has helped me grow as a disciple of Christ, surrounded by teammates, professors, and friends who actively strive to be their best selves.”
