But every ounce of his toughness came from seeing our greatness before we could see it ourselves. Because of his technique and high standards, I know how to draw blood with confidence. Now that I'm out on externship, I still hear his voice in my head reminding me to stand out, be proficient, and carry myself with professionalism. His approach was never easy, but it was always for the betterment of our success. Ms. Jowers -- Truly the backbone of our program. She works tirelessly around the clock to make sure we're squared away. No matter how busy she is, she always finds time to help students fix errors, understand the process, and keep moving forward. She never wants to see us fail, and her dedication to Fortis, to herself, and to all of her students is unmatched. Ms. Sledge (Program Director) -- She doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves. She is always looking out for her MAs, often putting herself in the line of fire without recognition. She is sharp, has a heart of gold, and genuinely wants her students to excel. She's the type of leader who changes lives quietly but powerfully. Ms. Welch -- Teaches insurance, billing, and coding with the sweetest spirit. Honestly, I despised that class at first, but she never let me give up. She made sure I was prepared for state boards, and even though I don't touch insurance at my externship, I've realized how beneficial it was to learn coding. I'm so thankful for her patience, kindness, and thoroughness. Mr. Ntumi -- Another tough cookie who didn't play about his subject. His brilliance and discipline in teaching anatomy made me retain knowledge I still use today. He set the tone early on: take this seriously, because it matters. His commitment was to our success, and it showed in every lecture and quiz. Overall: My Fortis journey was amazing. As long as you stay focused and driven, you will succeed here. This school sometimes gets a bad rep from people who didn't take it seriously, but for those of us who showed up, did the work, and stayed dedicated -- it was both challenging and fun. I can proudly say I was more than prepared stepping into externship, and I already have opportunities lined up for hire as soon as it ends.

When Dr. Murray was still president of CIU, he announced in chapel one year (I believe my sophomore…read moreyear so this would be around 2006-2007) that CIU had received a tremendous financial gift of $4 million. That same day, numerous administrative staff, I believe 8 people, were laid off. In the summer of my sophomore year, I received word from my professor that the CIU Performing Arts Department had been cut due to financial reasons. Later, a proposal for building a gymnasium was approved. When students mentioned these discrepancies, it was explained that there were different financial "buckets" and what had been placed in one "bucket" could not be used for another, particularly when donors were giving to a particular cause, in this case the building of a gymnasium and the establishment of an athletics department. I don't know if the donors brought the idea to the university, or if the university brought the idea to the donors, but the fact that the real financial situation was not disclosed to them and made the priority is deeply troubling. This also doesn't explain the fact that, according to friends of mine who used to work for the Kirkland prison initiative, finances that were raised specifically for the prison initiative then were not used for that. In 2013, weeks after my friend's young spouse passed away, they were laid off, while the university continued to grow its sports program. There was the belief that athletics would bring in the resources to help the university solve it's financial problems. Apparently this turned out to be a losing bet, as this summer, 2016, 4 faculty members and numerous staff were laid off. All of this indicates a deeply troubling pattern of financial mismanagement, a pouring of resources and energy into the wrong solutions, and mistreatment of CIU's greatest asset: its faculty and staff. I have only reported here what I have experienced firsthand or what I have heard directly from someone who has experienced it, but I have heard inklings here and there of other issues as well, but those are for others to share and confirm. I also have friends who are former employees who had to, in order to receive severance, sign a contract stating they would not speak negatively about the university, which is alarming. This and other things CIU has been doing may technically be legal, but legal technicalities are not the high standard an institution purporting to follow Christ should be holding itself to. I recently received a voicemail from a CIU staff member named Greta Clinton asking for donations to help fund student scholarships and teacher salaries. This is what CIU should have been soliciting all along, but for the reasons stated above I have zero faith that any dime I donate would go to it's intended cause. I cannot in good conscience donate to this university, nor can I recommend it to any prospective students because I do not believe their hard-earned tuition dollars will be used effectively.

I relocated across the U.S. to attend this college because it advertised a pathway for students…read moreinterested in Child Life. While there was some program support, the degree was not fully aligned with ACLP requirements, and I had to take three additional outside courses at my own expense (over $1,200) to meet certification expectations. Had I known this beforehand, I would have chosen a different school with a fully ACLP-aligned program. The campus itself is very outdated and poorly maintained. As a commuter, I heard frequent reports of fights, police presence, and limited support for students. Accessibility was a major concern -- elevators were often broken or unreliable, which is unacceptable for wheelchair users and others with mobility needs. Regarding ADA accommodations, the school is legally required to support students with both physical and neurological disabilities. While a testing center existed and some accommodations were provided, they were largely dependent on individual professors rather than consistent institutional support. I had one professor who disregarded my documented disabilities and attempted to require tasks I physically could not perform, despite multiple complaints from other students about her teaching practices. There was also a situation near graduation where the college failed to uphold ADA requirements, and I was forced to involve legal support. Although I ultimately graduated, the final four weeks were extremely stressful and unnecessary. That said, I want to give credit where it is due: my advisor and mentor, Dr. B, was outstanding. Her support, advocacy, and dedication made a meaningful difference, and I genuinely would not have graduated without her. Overall, this school may work for some students, but for those with disabilities or those pursuing Child Life certification, I strongly recommend researching other programs first and asking very specific questions before enrolling. Also, there was lots of challenges with getting into certain classes because they would canceled the class and it would be last minute and there would be a little too no notification ahead of time. There were certain classes with professors did try to make everybody only have paper and pencil, which may work for some individuals however, in this in age, that's pretty much not really how most people take good notes and study for their test and exams.

Many of the facilities could use to be updated, though the new library ("Learning Resource Center") is fabulous. Also, a lot of the resources they offer for free that help single parents/ young students/ general clueless people like myself are scheduled exclusively during the day while I'm working.

I wouldn't tell anyone to go to midlands technical college. The professor's never grade anything or get back to you in a timely manner, I have never been able to fill out a course evaluation, (I'm guessing they do not want to hear what I have to say) I have had two department heads for professor's since I have been attending midlands which I started a year and a half ago, and they are the worst one's out of the rest of the professor's. We are approaching on the last day of the semester in 3 days, and I still have work that has not been graded, and I have a final to take that is not even posted yet to be able to take. It is complete bullshit and it needs to be shut down, if this is how they are conducting people's education.
