What do you enjoy most about your role?
Chelsea: The thing I enjoy most about my job is encouraging students to believe in themselves and watch them cross the finish line.
What advice would you give to a student in their first semester of an online program?
Chelsea: If I could give any advice to a student in their first semester it would be to use a calendar, write all deadlines down, and stay on top of their course work.
What is the most common question you get from online students?
Chelsea: The most common question I get is how to balance work, school and home life. I always recommended writing everything down. Plan your school work days but make sure you log into ULink daily to make sure you don't miss anything. These programs are designed for working adults who have families. We understand you are busy but we are here to help you succeed.
