Meet Annie Parsells, a Rutgers School of Business–Camden 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.
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!
Annie’s 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.
