I have been able to take on freelance advertising work even when I was unable to work my usual job due to temporary closures. This degree gave me the skills I needed to pick up other work immediately and gave me the security and peace I was seeking for my future. I am incredibly grateful for this program and my time spent with UTEP Connect.”
