I read about the ACES office at UNCG, and I knew this was my opportunity. "I have a brother and an aunt who graduated from UNCG, and J I have a lot of friends who attended the University as well. m The company I work for, AMP, is paying for part of my tuition. M I'm very fortunate to be working for a company that is supportive and creates that kind of atmosphere. With their support, things have fallen into place. Having a support network makes coming back to school much less stressful. "I work full-time. And although going to school is a lot of work, if s never a burden when you want to do it. And the reason I'm at UNCG is that I love to learn." Call ACES it (336) 334-5757 and ask to speak with an advisor.
