Meet Uba Vanessa Wandiyahyel, a 200-level Accounting Student in the College of Humanities, Social and Management Sciences. She hails from Adamawa State in Northern Nigeria. Vanessa made the bold decision to move down south in pursuit of a higher education at McPherson University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Her journey to McPherson University was influenced largely by her faith and family. A devoted member of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Vanessa first heard of the University through her church network. With her parents recognizing the value and reputation of the Institution, they played a role in guiding her decision. \u201cI just wanted to go to school,\u201d she recalls, \u201cbut had no particular school in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanessa describes her arrival at McPherson as a \u201ctotally different experience,\u201d especially given the significant cultural and linguistic shift from her home State. \u201cAt first, everybody was speaking to me in Yoruba,\u201d she shares. \u201cI didn\u2019t think it would be this easy to adjust.\u201d However, over time, she embraced the new environment, adapting quickly and finding her place in the University community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What stands out most to Vanessa about McPherson is its commitment to academic excellence. \u201cFailure rate is very low,\u201d she notes proudly. \u201cBecause they take time to teach you.\u201d This dedication to student success, combined with the nurturing atmosphere, has made her academic journey fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the classroom, Vanessa speaks highly of the University\u2019s holistic approach to education. \u201cMy stay in McPherson is worth it,\u201d she says. \u201cMcPherson doesn\u2019t only teach you educationally, but helps you build moral character and spiritual growth.\u201d The transformation she has experienced is something she holds dear. \u201cI can see changes in me, before coming to McPherson and now that I am here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her time at the University has also expanded her vision for the future. \u201cBefore coming here, I only wanted to study Accounting,\u201d Vanessa says. \u201cBut now I\u2019ve been able to start learning and picturing what I\u2019ll do after obtaining my degree.\u201d She now dreams of giving back to the Institution that has given her so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of her goals after graduation is to donate hostels for both male and female students \u2014 a gesture she hopes will ease the journey for others like her. \u201cMcPherson University is the best choice,\u201d she confidently tells prospective students, encouraging them to embrace the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside academics, Vanessa enjoys singing, eating, and sleeping, and she puts her vocal talents to good use as a proud member of the University choir. From overcoming language barriers to finding purpose, Uba Vanessa Wandiyahyel\u2019s story is one of growth, faith, and a bright future ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
