Bethany Lovhaug, '19
Teacher Education - Prekindergarten - Grade 3
Fayette Campus
I chose UIU because of the small class sizes and 8 week course schedule. You get to know the people in your class and your professors on a name to name basis which makes you feel like you belong. I also chose UIU to continue my volleyball career in one of the most competitive conferences in Division 2.
