ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
Ashley Rosier is a 2015 graduate with a degree in the
Bachelor of Applied Health (BAH). After growing up in Minnesota, the U of M was
the first place Ashley looked when she decided to further her education.
“Getting a degree from the U is like a rite of passage, choosing the BAH degree
online was a no brainer!” The flexibility of the online degree is what Ashley
said drew her to the University of Minnesota Crookston. Ashley enlightened her
experience by sharing, “I could take courses when it worked for me, compete the
degree as it worked for me, and hold a full time job while working towards my
educational goals.” While trying to balance school and working a full time job
at Mayo Clinic as a radiographer created some challenges, keeping sight of her
goal of obtaining her bachelor’s degree to continue on her radiography career
path kept her motivated. “I made a
promise to myself that I would complete my Bachelor's degree.
Deciding to go back to school was the first step in fulfilling that promise,“
Ashley explained. Half way through obtaining her degree from UMC, Ashley
received a promotion to a Lead Technologist. It was an exciting time but now
she needed to add the addition of learning a new job while going to school. It
ended up working out as Ashley stated “It turns out that my coursework at UMC
supported and accommodated my transition to my new world; I was able to take
lessons and content I was learning in class and directly apply it to my job,”
Ashley continued “My course work even allowed me to participate in projects and
committees because of the skills I was learning.” Ashley’s experience at the
University of Minnesota shows the relevancy of the education provided to real
world work experiences. Being a UMC alumni may seem “surreal” to Ashley, but
the staff and faculty are honored to a have an alumni with her type of
capabilities and stature. Ashley is prime example of prestigious graduates we
