Online MBA Student Highlight: Annie Parsells
- Rutgers Grad Year: 2024
- Major: Online MBA
Meet Annie Parsells, a Rutgers School of BusinessโCamden Online MBA student! As a New Jersey native, Annie knew that when she had to choose a school for her MBA, she wanted it to be Rutgers! She chose the Online MBA program at RSBC because the virutal classes enabled her to have a healthy work, school, and life balance. While working full-time and caring for personal responsibilities, Annie was able to find balance and friendship and has had a positive experience with group projects and peer interactions.
Madeline chose Rutgers School of BusinessโCamden due to its convenient location and the amount of scholarships and financial aid that she was able to receive. Through putting herself out there and becoming involved on campus, Madeline was able to create a home for herself at RSBC. Madeline says, โDon’t be afraid to say no to commitments that don’t align with your priorities and goals, and always block out time each week to rest and clear your mind from school and work.โ
When Annie first started her Online MBA program, she had just been diagnosed with cancer. She notified Dr. Kendell that an assignment was due around the same time she was having major surgery. Not only did Dr. Kendell grant Annie extra days needed to complete the assignment, but he checked in with her to see how she was feeling afterwards! The care of RSBC professors is one that is memorable for many students who attend!
Annieโs biggest piece of advice to students is to stay ahead of schoolwork by keeping track of all tasks and assignments in a planner and making lists. writing down what tasks need to be completed in a calendar and list.
