I entered this program wanting to earn my degree because archives are the foundation of information and knowledge. I knew as a History Major that I would need further education to be successful career wise, and archives are how I finished my undergraduate thesis.
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My dad, My best friend Rachel, My sister Angela, My professors and My Mom.
While in the program, I met classmates from:
All over the United States and had a few Canadian classmates.
What I liked best about online learning was:
I could work at my own pace within deadlines set for assignments and papers. The ability to be flexible and learn in my own way was also useful.
What I enjoyed most about my experience at the SJSU School of Information was:
The number of professors who worked in professional settings within my degree field, beyond only teaching. While I appreciate teachers who fully devoted themselves to teaching, being able to learn from professionals within archives and records management was beneficial to learning about my future career prospects.
I plan to use my degree to:
Continue working within the archives and records management field. I do like working within the archives of small local government, but working within any archive would be fantastic.
Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
Continuing my work in my field, but also being able to start devoting more time to my hobbies and continual learning new things.
