“ If I could come up with just one word to
describe what USF has meant to me I think it’s ‘transform.’ Since starting the program I’ve really gained an understanding of how teams can work with a variety of different skill sets and personality types, and how to build team unity when there are many different styles. I’ve been able to bring that understanding into the workplace and now value difference in a way that I didn’t before.
