Para Mis Padres

“Buena Vista University is a truly amazing place. We get to come to work every day and be part of the lives of these students. As a first-generation college student, alum, and now employee, I believe that our contributions provide educational and extracurricular opportunities that can be transformational for our students. I am proud to support my students in so many ways including financially. I not only make a difference in their lives, they also make a difference in mine. Please join me in paying it forward and supporting the Faculty and Staff Campaign.”

Sami Kay ’13 M.A. ’20, Assistant Director, Career and Personal Development
