“Throughout the program, I had a lot of ‘aha’ moments. There were times when we’d cover a concept and I’d be like, ‘Wait, they talked about this on our last earnings call.’”
“The M.Ed. program gave me confidence and made me feel like I have a voice. Now, whenever there’s a new law passed or a new policy in my district, I have the tools to look it up for myself and interpret it and be an advocate for myself and other teachers.”
“I feel like people think you have to really grind and maybe cut out certain things in your life, but you don’t have to do that. The online program is tailored to people with careers or other responsibilities.”
“If earning your MBA is something you want to do, do it. Put your heart into it, and know that you can achieve it. UL Lafayette will always have a lasting impression on me because of the experience I had.”
“The program gave me the flexibility to be able to work on the coursework at my own pace, whenever I wanted to. Everything was on my terms, besides the due date.”
“At the end of the day, I think the best part of being in college is the networking. Everyone comes from different walks of life to attend the University. Make sure that you meet different people across different organizations, and the sky is the limit.”
“The classes were very informational. I’d be able to pull up what I was doing with our clients at work and understand exactly what we were doing and why were doing it because of the classes I took.”
“This is the best decision I've made, and the only time I ever get angry with myself is that I didn't do it sooner. It goes fast. I was in it for almost three years, and it feels like I just started. Just be patient with yourself, give yourself grace, stick with it, and don't be afraid to ask for help.”
"There are not many things you get to do as big as this. Enjoy the experience, take it slow, and ask questions when they come up because UL Lafayette has a huge support system. That’s one of the reasons I decided to go back.”
