“When I entered Cornerstones Freshman year, I embraced the opportunity to learn outside the classroom,” says Ayrielle LeGrande, (BAIN ’13). “I wanted to find a Bachelor’s Degree program that allowed me to expand learning beyond the collegiate environment. As an Integrative Studies major, I concentrated in Legal Studies and was given the flexibility to pursue every one of my passions.
