After 27 years as a business professional in Human Resources, I was eager to return to a learning environment to obtain my Masters degree. However, I was also aware that I wanted that environment to be one of diversity in talent of professors and classmates alike. I found Webster to be exactly what I needed! I felt challenged and invigorated by the curriculum and often found that I learned as much from my classmates as I did from the course work. I am proud to have a Masters degree from Webster.
