Alumni Testimonials

“The Administration and Supervision Program at Marymount University gave me a better understanding of how the Catholic faith makes a leader ready for any challenge, become realistic in expectations, and hopeful in every circumstance.  Every professor is excellent and one becomes part of a community filled with enthusiasm and joy.  I am especially grateful for this program for creating enduring relationships and friendships that are grounded in the love of Christ.”

“The courses and structure of Marymount’s Catholic School Leadership Program set you up for success in being a school leader. They hit every aspect of decision-making, both big and small; and helped me determine what type of leader I am. The frame-work of the program is integral to its success; by establishing cohorts, the students form cohesive groups that move beyond the classroom. Oftentimes I have found myself reaching out to those who were in my cohort to get a different perspective, or even to find out how they might do things in a different part of the country. The Marymount professors are knowledgeable and bring real life experiences to the classroom setting. They are approachable, and willing to help students, recognizing that a student’s attention may be split by school or family. Most importantly, the Catholic Leadership Program instilled Faith as a guiding principle for school administrators. Not a day goes by that I do not see the necessity of relying on Jesus as a model of steward leadership. I am grateful to Marymount’s CSLP for providing me with the tools to feel confident as I continue my career in Catholic education.”
