"The professionalism and mentorship I was bestowed upon at Legacy Institute, to say "it has been a great value to me" is an understatement. My accomplishments that I've achieved greatly reflect on what they still offer and can provide to this day. Going through the program has taught me it's okay to fail while knowing nothing, but it's never okay to give up knowing that you now know something to aid in your own success"

"Because of my experience at LIFE, I was able to pursue a marketing minor. The skills and knowledge I gained through LIFE opened the door to countless opportunities—developing two upcoming apps, serving as Vice President of Marketing for my pre-law organization, managing the social media of a tanning salon, and so much more. I am truly grateful for everything I have gained through LIFE."
