INCREASING THE VALUE OF YOUR DEGREE

What is the first thing that most people learn about a couple of the really big purchases we make in life, houses usually gain value over time and a new car depreciates the second you write the check.

That is why as students, future alumni and parents you have a vested interest in the institution that members of your family decide to attend. As current students, alumni and parents the value of a Jacksonville University  degree increases with each outstanding freshmen class we bring in and with each talented class we graduate. The more successful our alumni are in their professionals lives the more value individuals place on a JU degree.

So when you are at church, the grocery store, high school athletic event or on a plane traveling take every opportunity to promote that "Be Orange" value you have witnessed first hand. There is no better ambassador for JU  then one of our 4500 current students or one of our over 20,000 living alumni. Talk about your own personal experience with JU and what specific value added component was important to you.

Just remember alumni and parents. The value of that degree increases every time we bring another student to our campus and each time a student walks across the stage at graduation.  We need more of our current students, parents and alumni to sing the praises of the JU experience every opportunity they have.

So the next time you encourage a student to check out Wartburg or tell someone about your experience just know that your efforts are being rewarded. That "cha ching" you are hearing is the sound of either your JU degree or that of your childs increasing.

Thank you in advance for your help in increasing the value of Jacksonville University through you positive words!
