Lorna credits her education for helping her become a better property owner and manager. "It has been a great help in getting and setting up things, so that I could purchase the second building, to be able to rent it out, and to find a niche in the market."
She appreciates the efforts of all her instructors, but she has a special fondness for her language instructor. "I think my English teacher Rhoda Arrindell, because I used to speak Dutch, and now it was all in English. So that was for me very important."
As for why students should choose USM: “I would like to let them know, that it's very important to have a good education. And while it's available on the island, they should take use of it. Whether it's for teaching, business, or something else.”
