As a working mother, I
questioned if graduate school could work into my busy life. Taking one or
two classes a semester in the evenings was a perfect fit for me and my family.
Taking the time to reflect on who we are is a rare commodity in our fast
paced world. Edgewood College provided me a safe and supportive environment
to not only discover a new field of study but also who I am and what I
aspire to be in the future. - Kerri Kliminski RN, MS, CHPN Clinical Instructor- ADN Program Madison Area Technical College |
