Kyle Hollmann credits Southwest Baptist University for the academic and social preparation
that has helped him succeed in medical school.
“Medical school has been extremely challenging, but it is reassuring to know that
my education at SBU has prepared me for the rigors it holds,” said Kyle. “I am learning
more than I ever thought possible and excelling in my classes alongside students from
top-notch universities around the world.”
For Kyle, the caring faculty and personalized attention he received has been incredibly
valuable as he continues to pursue his personal and professional goals.
“The faculty at SBU not only imparted knowledge, but also guided me through the competitive
process of medical school applications,” said Kyle. “I know I would not be where I
am today if it were not for their direction.”
Beyond the classroom experiences, Kyle was equipped for success through numerous opportunities
to get involved and build relationships. He participated in student activities, served
as a campus tour guide and resident assistant, and participated in multiple international
mission projects.
“SBU provided numerous opportunities to get involved and build relationships,” reported
Kyle. “By stepping out of my comfort zone and truly engaging in campus life I found
lasting friendships and developed important social skills necessary for success in
a relationally-driven world. These experiences were life-changing.”
Kyle is now commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the U.S. Air Force and a student at Liberty
University College of Osteopathic Medicine. In the time since his graduation in 2015,
Kyle is already seeing the value of his investment in an SBU education.
“Obtaining a quality education from a private university can seem costly, but SBU
made it very manageable through countless scholarship and campus employment opportunities,”
said Kyle. “My education at SBU was a very wise investment. The value of one-on-one
attention from caring professors cannot be overstated.”
