Through the program, I had the chance to have truly in-depth professional development as I was teaching. All of the new knowledge that you're gaining really gives life to your teaching. My teaching became more energized, and I have enjoyed every class.
Everything was so accessible. The teachers, instructors, advisors—everyone at Ole Miss is all about making sure the students have everything they need to be successful.
I was managing a new job, a new family, a new baby. Everything I've learned, the connections I've made, the people I've met, the professors I've learned from—have all been an incredible experience. If you're on the fence, do it. Make the jump, and enroll.
After 10 years working in the food industry, I wanted to start offering more. Because the program is online, I can work my 100-hour work week and gain business and leadership knowledge, while re-applying that knowledge into my actual business atmosphere.
I chose online classes because there is no way to put a pause on life. I would not be in the position I am now without my master’s in IMC. Having a master’s gave my new job the confidence to take a chance on me. This was really the beginning — of a new field, a new opportunity, a new me.
