"I chose the Rollins College MHR program to broaden my depth of knowledge in the HR and People Strategy field, but I left the program with much more. The MHR cohort included a diverse group of professionals from various industries, levels, and backgrounds that created a culture of innovation and creativity. The balance between the professors and the cohort provided me with an education and experience I still leverage today."
