Gail

"[The program] prepared me for the rigorous schedule�of studying required in pursing a seminary degree - the long study hours, writing papers, reading, juggling family and work schedules�- I had already done it in [the program] so the discipline was already in place.�It also taught me to think critically about what I read, and honed my writing skills which were definitely necesssary for graduate level course work."

 

Elizabeth

"I have been promoted from Activities and Community Outreach Specialist to Cohort Advisor, and most recently, have been designated the acting manager for the Title V Department at Morton College. I have been accepted into the ENLACE Fellows Program at NEIU and I am currently pursuing my Master's in Educational Leadership. Close to finishing my first year in Grad school, I expect to graduate in December 2008 and am looking forward to pursing my PhD in Education.”
