Kirkwood Student Casey Eiselstein

“I love Kirkwood because it is a small community that allowed me to transition into the student mindset. The classes are small and the instructors are supportive. Being far removed from my prior academic experiences, Kirkwood allowed me to slowly get back into the educational mindset.”
