How has the VRO improved your experience at USU and/or helped you as a student?
The VRO has provided a great place to relax and meet people with common values, perspectives, and experiences. I have also had many of my ideas challenged in conversations with the community at the VRO. The VRO has also provided extension peace of mind regarding the certifying process. The staff are very professional, and quickly help me out anytime that I have messed up the process.
