“I think what prepared me most for my career was the small class sizes that maximized 1-1 time with the professors. That 1-1 time allowed me to understand the application of what I was learning in the classroom into the real world. The OSH program helped me land two excellent internships that helped me standout once I graduated.”

I would advise someone who is new to this field to never stop learning. Some people think that once you get a degree, that's it and you're done. That's very limiting! Industries and safety are always changing and advancing.
