PURPOSEFULLY DIFFERENT

S C H O O L O F P R O F E S S I O N A L & G R A D U AT E S T U D I E S

- Nancy Simmons, Applied Organizational Leadership

I returned to school because I needed a degree.

I didn’t finish college after going to high school.

I went to work and kind of felt like working was

more important than an education. Now that

I’m in corporate America and seeing people pass

me up for opportunities – it was time.
