What was your overall UIS experience like?
Being able to work full-time while enrolled in the online MPH program was such a benefit. It provided great flexibility while still being able to communicate regularly with my professors.
Do you have any fond memories of your time at UIS you'd like to share?
Some major life events happened during my MPH program. I got married to a lovely lady, our twin boys were born, and we bought our first house. I look back and smile but can’t help thinking how I stayed sane!
