The discussions, teamwork and interactions we shared provided a richness to my learning that I could never have gotten from a textbook.
My career had advanced quickly over the previous few years and I felt an MBA education would give me the knowledge and confidence to be the leader I wanted to be. The RRU MBA program offered the flexibility I was looking for to fit in schoolwork at the times each week that worked best for me. Yes, you can work full-time, have dinner with your family, coach your kid’s sports team, and do your MBA coursework. Learning to focus on priorities and invest time where it will be most impactful is one of the valuable skills I refined through the program and now use every day.
The cohort of students going through the program with me was diverse and experienced in business leadership. The discussions, teamwork and interactions we shared provided a richness to my learning that I could never have gotten from a textbook. Plus, I gained lifelong friends and a network of business leaders across industries and across the country.
The COVID pandemic hit the world right as my MBA journey completed. Working through new situations where I wasn’t an expert, had missing information and felt unsure of the outcomes was now nothing new. With my MBA background, I was confident I could make a good, informed decision based on the information available and had the skills and resources to tackle whatever lay ahead.
