鈥淭he EMBA program at UPEI gave me the skills, tools, and professional networking to advance my business. The program's evidence-based approach provided analytical knowledge to help me be successful.

鈥淚t was a challenge to return to school after being in the workforce for 32 years. Balancing the EMBA course load and my law practice was difficult at times; however, the cohort structure of the program meant I got lots of support in getting the job done. The evidence-based approach to business management taught in the program aligns nicely with the practice of law.鈥�

鈥淚n 2012, my position was affected by budget cuts. Suddenly, I was unemployed so I took the opportunity to refresh and pursue further education. UPEI鈥檚 EMBA program taught me to question more and how to find answers; afforded me rare insights into business and leadership; and it put me in the company of extraordinarily talented people.鈥�
