Finishing college without missing life — that's the SOAR™ difference.

Jeffrey Pike, Director of Infrastructure and Security at Gentex and a dedicated father, once thought his bachelor's degree was out of reach. Through Cornerstone University's innovative mobile platform, he earned his Bachelor of Science in strategic business management while staying fully present for his family and career.

Flexible, affordable and Christ-centered, SOAR™ let him study on his phone — at kids' games, lunch breaks and early mornings. "Do it," he advises others. "It's convenient and well structured."

Meet Rob Hoogenstyn, one of Cornerstone University’s first SOAR™ graduates.

On May 9, 2026, he walked across the commencement stage, earning his Bachelor of Science in Strategic Business Management after putting his college dreams on hold for decades.

As a husband, father of four and full-time professional, Rob found the flexibility he needed in SOAR’s innovative smartphone-based learning platform. He completed coursework on his own time — during lunch breaks, after dinner and in small moments throughout the week — while celebrating this milestone alongside one of his own children.

His story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to finish what you started. Read more about Rob’s journey and how SOAR™ is opening doors for adult learners: https://www.cornerstone.edu/finishing-what-he-started-through-soar/
