“Albertus was highly recommended to me by fellow alumnus James Scott ’06 because of its flexibility and discount for members of the Law Enforcement community. My experiences as an adult leader at Albertus Magnus College was instrumental in me pursuing educational and professional opportunities. I recently became a trauma trainer for Criminal Justice professionals, and having an advanced degree provides me with a degree of credibility among my peers. Since graduating from Albertus Magnus College, I was fortunate to pursue my passion for teaching at the collegiate level. In January of 2017, I was hired as an adjunct instructor at Gateway Community College. I teach Criminal Justice courses and volunteer as a member of the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee. Currently, I’m enrolled in the Criminal Justice Doctorate Program at Saint Leo University.”

Director of the Master of Science in Management and Organizational Leadership program, Dr. Howard Fero, states that “students in the MSMOL can be confident that the lessons they learn and the concepts they explore can be directly applied to their organization and their specific job.”

John’s advice for recent alumni who are just starting out in the working world or those advancing their degree is, “maintain your personal and professional relationships fostered during your time at Albertus Magnus College. Pursuing an advanced degree will open many doors!”
