Emily Romito ‘10

Emily says the Organizational Leadership program allowed her the flexibility to take classes online as well as in a traditional
classroom.

“I was able to build a class schedule around work and still be involved in campus life. I took classes in business writing, organizational change and social psychology. I now have a tool kit full of resources and mentors to help me be a successful leader now and in the future.”

Emily, a 2011 graduate, is now attending James Madison University to earn a master’s degree in college student personnel administration. Emily will be working as a graduate assistant for the Department of Counseling and Student Development. Emily was recognized as the 2011 organizational leadership student of the year.
