Maryjane MacleodAlthough I don’t have my degree yet, merely having the knowledge and experience provided by the program expanded my ability to perform my job functions more efficiently and increased my ability to understand and assimilate regulatory and policy changes within my industry, thus bringing more value to my clientele. The caliber of professors, and the speakers introduced to us, opened doors for me and strengthened my confidence in networking.
While I’m looking forward to receiving my master’s degree, it is bittersweet because I will certainly miss the inspiration and camaraderie of the coursework, students, and professors. I have an exciting new position as a Technical Marketing Engineer, which offers opportunities to expand my knowledge in my area of specialty: Stormwater Mitigation and Low Impact Development.
