 Jon: I had a huge project at work and my professor Rick So really helped me out. He dedicated lots of his time to help me develop a multiple regression model. For a busy teacher to take time out like that – it went way beyond the scope of the class.
Lowell: One really great thing about the Merage School is definitely the staff. They are very helpful to the person who is a working professional.
Heather: All that that they do allows me to focus on learning and my time is spent on just that.
Cheryl: I love that they provide dinner for you before class. I thought I’d just go to school and come home – but we all have dinner together before class. It’s surprising how involved in the school I’ve become as a result of bonding with my fellow students.
 Hamaad: I’d agree with Cheryl. It’s an experience coming to school, it’s not just going to class.
Jon: And the program provides you a number of opportunities to network. You can sit in on sessions with key note speakers and attend professional seminars. There is always a lot going on.
Heather: And I really like that the faculty comes to our socials.
Cheryl: They are as invested in the school as we are. They really care and it shows.
