STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: HR LEADERSHIP STUDENT ANSWERS ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS

By Conner Mackowiak | June 11, 2024 | Comments 0 Comment

Meet Heather Brennan! Heather is a UofL Online BS in Organizational Leadership and Learning (OLL) May 2024 graduate with a track-focus in HR Leadership. We asked her some questions about her online BS OLL experience—let’s read her responses below!

Why did you select UofL’s online BS OLL program?

I selected the BS OLL program because I was able to use my previous and current work experiences toward college credits. The program offered a track that allowed me to develop my leadership skills and earn an HR Leadership Certificate. Classes were available online and I was able to move at a pace that worked best for me.

What was the best part of this program, in your experience?

The best part of this program is the relevance of the coursework and interactions with colleagues and professors. I have gained an incredible amount of personal development along with a sense of true accomplishment. The networking connections have created opportunities I may have otherwise never pursued. The BS OLL program has given me an outlet to advance my career and increase my earning potential. I have been able to challenge myself, be challenged by others, and challenge others through this journey. Furthering my education in the BS OLL program has allowed me to be a role model for others by expressing my commitment to academic and personal growth.

What were your thoughts or feelings about starting an online program?

Returning to college after a 29-year gap produced some self-imposed anxiety. However, every step of this journey in the OLL program has been wonderful. Making the initial phone call, meeting with my advisor, enrolling in classes, course options, relevant content, knowledgeable instructors, and the overall support from the program and its administrators have all contributed to this incredible experience.

Would you recommend this program to others?

I have already recommended the program and will continue to recommend the program because of the positive impact it has had on my personal and professional life.

We are grateful to Heather for her thoughtful answers to our questions and for taking the time to share her experience with us! You can learn more about the BS OLL degree and HR Leadership track at the link below!
