A FEW WORDS FOR ROCHAMBEAU
Rochambeau made University feel like a piece of cake. I graduated with the "Rochambeau Forever" certificate, so this school is part of my roots and a huge part of my identity. I learned so much from our program, from my peers (there's just something about us Rochambeau kids that make us stick together, no matter the distances) and from the perseverance of my teachers, who ingrained in me "you can do better" - always pushing us to surpass ourselves and ultimately gifting us with the proper tools to succeed in the world.
I am forever grateful to Rochambeau for the memories I rejoice in and the knowledge I gained and apply to be the best young woman entrepreneur I can be.
