Meet Avis Jackson, a current JWU Online student pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Sports, Entertainment, Event – Management. Discover what inspired Avis to pursue her degree and how JWU Online is helping to support her future.
Why JWU Online?
After searching and reaching out to multiple schools, I was looking for a program that matched my background and overall interest. I loved what I saw and appreciated the quick response to registration that JWU provided.
Highlighting JWU Online’s Faculty
Tapping into the brains of the instructors and following their feedback with regards to assignments, I truly believe them when they say, “If you need anything from me, just contact me!”
Professional Goals
My four professional goals are to:
- Gain a clear understanding of the SEEM industry moving into the future.
- Take a chance on an opportunity to get a degree as a college student.
- Scale my ideas for my business and apply what I have learned at JWU to those concepts.
- Lastly, being able to take high standard classes online is a blessing. The overall experience so far has been professional and engaging.
Standout Experience
My academic advisor Gary Rabinowitz has been very honest and strategic with matching my goals and background with my classes. He understands my workload and keeps my commitments to my request for a per session schedule.
Work-Life Balance
Because the assignments and tests are scheduled consistently for Thursday and Sunday due dates, that helps tremendously. I am able to schedule my work/life around those days.
Advice For Future Students
If they are a “life-learner” like myself, I would definitely encourage them to give it a chance. At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep up, but it has been a great learning experience and informative as well. Just go for it!
Consider working through the summer, if you can tackle some of the classes in advance of the following session for the upcoming year. If it can help graduate earlier, that would be great, but I like having the scheduled classes match my work schedule so that I can knock out a few more classes and not wait until later. My youngest daughter and I are scheduled to graduate the same year! We make every effort count and are excited to meet our goals!
