Brittany Lindhorst
A recommendation from a colleague and fellow alum led me to the Master's in Organizational Leadership program at BVU. I have a genuine passion for leadership development, and this program is providing me with the tools to become the most effective leader I can be and to empower others to reach their full leadership potential. While the fast-paced, 7.5 week classes are certainly challenging as a full-time working mom, being able to complete the entire program in less than two years is invaluable.
