“I already had 15 years of working and school experience before I decided to head to Rollins. My time in this program has opened doors that I didn’t even know existed. It’s given me confidence, strength, education, power, and an endless array of mentors and role models. Each class built up on the last, each experience explained the next, and the program’s investment in me changed my present.”
