Ryan Bowie, Business Administration
Ryan Bowie鈥檚 achievements as a Winslow Township firefighter have paralleled his pursuit of a Business Administration degree concentrating in Management.
鈥淚 plan to use my degree to further my career in the fire service by pursuing promotions in the future,鈥 he said. 鈥淢y management degree will have given me all the tools I need to be successful in a role that requires management skills, such as a captain or battalion chief.鈥
Bowie appreciated that 淫性视频鈥檚 School of Business allowed him the opportunity to attend in-person classes while also being employed full-time, which he attributes to flexible scheduling and the wide array of classes offered.
鈥淚 was still able to get the 鈥榗ollege experience鈥 on campus, instead of being limited to online universities. I also had the opportunity to take many 'At Some Distance' courses that I would have never otherwise gotten to experience, such as an acting class,鈥 Bowie said.
鈥溡允悠碘檚 School of Business has been wonderful for me. I鈥檝e loved the diversity
of classes I鈥檝e taken for my major, and how they鈥檝e prepared me for not just all the
facets of the world of business, but also life,鈥 he said.
However, success was not always a linear path for Bowie. After years of waiting for the perfect opportunity as a firefighter, he was unable to pass a portion of the testing process, preventing him from being appointed. 鈥淚 had to dig deep and do everything I could to try and get a second chance from the Civil Service to pass the test so that I could be permanently appointed, instead of just provisional/temporary,鈥 he recalled.
鈥淚 never gave up, though, and after almost a full year of battling for a second chance I was finally awarded it, passed my test, and earned permanent appointment. I could not have done it without the support of my family, coworkers, friends, and peers and professors at 淫性视频, so I definitely learned to appreciate everything in life more.鈥
When reflecting on what he will miss most about 淫性视频, Bowie is split between missing the campus and the people.
鈥淥ne of the biggest reasons I chose to attend 淫性视频 was the beauty of its campus. Having grown up in the Pinelands, 淫性视频鈥檚 campus offers a sense of comfort and familiarity, as well as serene beauty,鈥 he said. I鈥檒l definitely miss the occasional daydream looking out of classroom windows and taking walks around Lake Fred.
鈥淚鈥檒l also miss all the wonderful people at 淫性视频. I don鈥檛 think I鈥檝e ever met someone on campus who I didn鈥檛 like. Such a great group of people, and I am lucky to have gotten to know them,鈥 Bowie said.
