Goodwin College student Lisa Carmona was pursuing an associate degree when a chance encounter on campus changed the expected course of her studies \u2013 and her life. Carmona, who had been reconsidering her initial program choice, met Michael Wolter, Program Director and Assistant Professor of Management and Leadership, and after learning about other options for her studies, decided to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in Management and Leadership<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

Carmona, who is currently the Hartford Division Administrator of Field Services for Eversource, credits her ongoing success in the workplace to her Management and Leadership coursework. \u201cI gained hands-on experience working with different types of people,\u201d she notes. \u201cIt has helped me become a more confident leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

The road to success was not without its challenges for Carmona, however. \u201cI was working two jobs and caring for my father who fell ill during my time at Goodwin,\u201d she recalls. \u201cThere was a lot going on in my personal life, but the support of Goodwin College was always uplifting and positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Carmona, flexibility was at the forefront of her decision to stay in school despite her other commitments. \u201cSchool could not be my first priority for a while, but the flexibility that Goodwin offered was amazing,\u201d she shares. \u201cI grew up so much and was proud to graduate after what I went through.\u201d She received her bachelor\u2019s degree in 2016.<\/p>\n

Carmona is now one of the first alumni students enrolled in Goodwin\u2019s new master\u2019s degree program in Organizational Leadership (MSOL degree<\/a>) and will be returning to continue her studies later this year. \u201cFor me, Goodwin is home, and I\u2019m excited to return for my master\u2019s degree in Organizational Leadership. I look forward to seeing what doors it will open for me in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
