“I came to Northern with a vision to have a good education, but I did not have a clear idea of what I should study. After talking to different faculty members and teachers, they guided me and helped me decide what I wanted to do, which was study business. Since coming to Northern I have made many connections within the business community and I have gained the confidence needed to succeed in my area of study. I am glad that I choose to come to Northern, and now I can proudly say: Go Wolves!” – Betser Roney #beNORTHERN #unleashYOURpotential

I received my B.B.A. in business administration from Iowa State University and my M.A. in English from University of Central Missouri. As a military spouse, I lived across the U.S., Germany, and Japan, and encourage others to explore and experience the amazing world around them. I thoroughly enjoy helping students discover and plan for their futures: to see them grow into confident, always-learning Wolves!
