Meet Jessica Ehrhardt

Even though I really liked my job in human resources, I wanted to take my career further. It was important to me to go back to school and get my degree someday. I wanted to prove it to myself, though I admit I had no idea where to begin.

What I loved about Albright was that everything was spelled out for me. From 6-10 every Wednesday night, I knew exactly what I would be doing for the next two years. Then, during the middle of my program, I found out I was pregnant!

Albright was actually the first to get the news outside of my immediate family. The faculty went over all my options with me and I don't think I would have gotten that level of care and attention anywhere else. My classmates rallied around me too and threw me a baby shower. With the support of my family and Albright, I was back in the classroom when my son was only 12 days old.

I have a bumper sticker that says "Proud of Albright," but I'm proud of myself too, because I achieved one of the most important goals of my life: I graduated with highest honors.
