"I really enjoyed all my interactions. My instructors – and anyone that I reached out to – were either able to talk with me on the phone, or would answer by email within a reasonable time frame. Everyone was very open to helping. And my Student Support Specialist, Hayley – I can't speak highly enough about her. She was so patient with me when I had questions. She was wonderful!."
Gail Callahan, MPH, RN-BC (Class of '18)
