"Working toward an MBA gave me the opportunity to improve my skills and knowledge of the functional areas of management. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice during an Applied Project for the Science Museum of Western Virginia during which I improved my insight of the management of a non-profit organization and allowed me to contribute to its long-term effectiveness."
Laura Villada, RU MBA 2010
"I was looking for something to complement my finance degree and broaden my capabilities and opportunities. Now, I would like to create an opportunity that brings people together and supports people. [Developing the community Garden for the City of Radford] is beyond actually learning where food comes from and how to do it. I am getting real experience in project management, leadership, public relations and marketing."
Brittany Gerald, Co-Director at City of Radford's Community Garden, RU MBA 2009
"Church has several different dimensions to it, and one of the dimensions is business. To be a pastor in a church, you have twofold responsibilities. You are an administrator, which obviously has to do a lot with business-oriented activities, and the second part of your responsibilities is pastoral in regards to the spiritual needs of parishioners.
Having knowledge of how finances work and the ability to read financial statements and understand them and having a better understanding of human resources, and also the ability to see how many organizations work, how things are being connected -- let's say human resources with financial resources with building and grounds and seeing logistically how these flow -- it's very helpful."
