“If it wasn’t for those who gave before me, I wouldn’t be able to attend ɳ.”
Skyler Erben ’19 is the first in his family to attend college. He started out at Portland State University, but soon found the large-school environment wasn’t the right fit for him.
As a transfer student at ɳ, Skyler has found a home. In addition to his studies, he’s also a member of STAT, Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow, and works in the office of University Advancement.
And, he makes an effort to give back to ɳ financially, as much as he can.
“I give because this is an awesome school,” Skyler said, “and I want to keep feeding into how awesome it is.”
