What Our Alumni Have Say:

My time at Rollins provided all the foundational skills I needed for project management, program development, and coalition building. I use these skills on a daily basis and am grateful for all the real-time project experience we were given through our classes. These are skills that are transferable in any job, no matter the focus.

Assistant Director, Office of Whole Child Supports at Georgia Department of Education

I rely heavily on cultural competency and cross-cultural communication, skills I exercised during my global field experience (GFE) with RZHRG in Kigali, Rwanda. I think back to coursework with Kate Winskell on social and behavioral change--I use these skills frequently to help novice partners follow humanitarian standards and best practices in our field. The most useful training I received from Rollins was the Complex Humanitarian Emergencies coursework. Finally, leadership skills have been very important in my job; working with others in classes and my jobs during grad school cultivated these skills in me.
