UMass Global has been a game-changer. As a working mom with a demanding job in aviation and a second role in security, flexibility was non-negotiable, and they've provided that and more. I feel seen here, not just as a student, but as someone working toward a bigger mission.
UMass Global has made it possible for us to achieve our dreams, regardless of where we are in life. I work full-time for my local school district, and I am a mom, a wife, a sister, and a daughter. Thanks to UMass Global, I was able to earn my degree while juggling these many roles.
When you take those things that you learn in school and apply it, it makes so much sense how you're able to lead; and then you become a better leader. Within two years after going back to school I was recognized and received a 2018 non-commission officer of the year award. And that was all, I feel, because of my education.
UMass Global gave us the opportunity to take ownership of our education in a way that many other paths do not. We mastered the art of time management, how to be self-disciplined, and how to navigate technology with confidence... To UMass Global, thank you for making education accessible to so many of us, for fostering a sense of community even in a virtual setting.
