I relish the connections I made throughout the MBA program. Suffolk created an environment that allowed students to work collaboratively on client projects and develop valuable relationships, despite the online setting. With an MBA, I now have the confidence to seek management positions at my company or elsewhere if I desire." —Ryan Alan Linderman
