What Students Say

“OYM has helped me get comfortable with this new atmosphere of college when I first started and helped me break out of my comfort zone and talking to people. It helped me reach out and be free to make friends here because I know that’s an important part of the whole college atmosphere is branching out. I also thought it helped me a lot with my academics and planning. It definitely helped me out in instances when Emily helped me decide on what classes I needed to take to graduate on time – that was super helpful. OYM has been great for me and a lot of help throughout college. Not just academically but socially. It has helped me out a lot.” 

 

“It has helped me academically, solving personal problems, and working through other issues that arose throughout the semester"  

 

"On Your Marq has given me the opportunity to be my true self and has assured me that I can accomplish anything. The individuals in this program are like a second family to me which they express in their words and actions everyday, They don't treat me as someone with autism who is different and impaired but rather as a friend and human. The help I have received has easily made the college transition a breeze while simultaneously making me feel successful and independent. I would recommend this program to anyone on the spectrum and those who want an opportunity to feel welcome and supported."
