In what ways has your Harvard Extension degree impacted your career?
I’ve been able to take skills I learned in class to my job the NEXT DAY and find the lessons relevant. It’s also a great vehicle to showcase your personal pursuit of professional development outside of your day job responsibilities. I’m always surprised at the number of people in the Biotechnology field that are interested in continuing to take classes, and to be able to share my experience with them helps the whole community of learners at large.
