What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program:

I enjoyed the camaraderie of my 'CTERmates.' It was helpful to know there was a group of individuals who were going through the same educational experience at the same time as I. I will truly miss the daily exchanges I had with many of my classmates.  

How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life:

The last two years, I did not have a week end to call my own. My family carried on without me and I was holed up at my computer accomplishing the next assignment. Only now am I reacquainting myself with my husband and three children! 

CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways:

While I won't earn a pay raise with this degree and I am not out to find a newer, better position, I'd like to think I have gained a great deal of confidence in my current job as a tech coordinator. If anything, I have learned how much there is to know in the field of technology and that there is not one individual who knows it all! 

Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.)

My marriage and my family are intact, thank God,...although there were times when I think they all disliked this experience in which I was participating. However, I went on a couple of 'eye adventures' which resulted in a partial loss of my vision. 

My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program:

 It has to be COMPLETING the degree in spite of all the adversity in my life!
