From a Part-time Student
“I can’t ignore the value of the
content of my education-the business, leadership, and communication skills that I continue to learn
in my course work not only help me achieve my short-term goals and enhance my current career, but
will make my future goals that much easier to attain.” - Becky Cania, Corporate Communications Manager, Paychex, Inc.
