What our
graduates
are sayingg
"MVNU was the PERFECT atmosphere for learning. I
couldn’t have asked for a better experience or better
preparation for what I’m doing today. The only reason
I’m in this role is because of the hands-on experience I
received at WNZR. I even surprised a few people when I
was an intern with the amount of knowledge I already
had. I’m only the second intern to be hired full time at
my job. I owe that to MVNU!"
