What is something you learned (knowledge, training, skills) during your academic program that you utilize in your workplace and/or current studies?
My understanding of graphic design has been super helpful, as I oftentimes make web updates to the PHP website and design promotional flyers for upcoming ag-related events.
Please share if courses, faculty, and/or staff at Eastern contributed to your career/educational success and how they helped:
One of the best things about Eastern is how supportive the staff is. Almost all of my educators were extremely invested in my success and were willing to help me whenever I needed assistance. They extended deadlines if I was unable to complete assignments on time and allowed an extremely flexible schedule, so I could work full-time while going to school.
What advice would you give to current Eastern students who are looking to follow a similar path to a job or continued studies?
Take advantage of the financial benefits that Eastern offers! It is the cheapest accredited school in the state of West Virginia! I have an accredited, transferable college degree, no student loans, and they immediately provided me with workforce placement within their organization. Eastern is full of fantastic opportunities.
