Eastern Kentucky University’s Chief Auxiliary Services Officer, Steve Caudill, discusses the impact of First Day® Complete on EKU’s students.
“[First Day® Complete] is making students more successful and taking away a barrier that students have, where they are not having to choose between paying their rent, buying gas, buying food. They don’t have to make that choice. It’s giving them – every student – the opportunity to walk into the classroom and be able to do whatever they need to do from the first day.”
-Steve Caudill, Chief Auxiliary Services Officer at Eastern Kentucky University
