MSU Grad - Karen Irving
The coursework I completed during this journey has prepared me [well] ... I've had the opportunity to work with leadership and other stakeholders within the community college setting, which has been an excellent incentive for me to build my knowledge base as I become prepared for this work. I joined student governance to build my capacity through professional connections within the Morgan network and tie these experiences back to my future professional objectives. The Advanced Studies, Leadership, and Policy department does a great job of incorporating opportunities that provide students with additional insight during their doctoral journey ... As for affordability ... It was the determining factor for selecting Morgan, including being an HBCU. I’ve attended non-HBCUs before, [but at Morgan] I can definitely feel the love that I hadn't previously experienced.
