“The Philander Smith Management Institute helped me achieve a new level of success in my career. In addition, the training I received through the PSMI has helped me better serve my community.

“I enjoy helping and connecting with my students. They are living the lessons we study in the classroom because they experience it every day on the job. It is a degree program developed to meet their real-world challenges.
Seeing those students move from frustration and complacency – to confidence and success is extremely rewarding. This is exactly what the PSMI was designed to do. Help adults already in their careers grow and develop as they reach their professional goals.”
