What MCL Alumni Say

The Drake MCL program changed my life. Through the course work, I became even more confident in my abilities and strengths. A fellow student suggested I become a life coach, which I had never considered. But after learning more about it, I knew it was something I was meant to do. Since graduation I pursued my dream to become a certified coach and am helping others find and pursue their dreams! — Nicole Bruene, owner of Elite Personal Coaching by Nicole Bruene, MCL ’09

I loved the mixture of business and communications classes. Being able to take graduate level courses in both disciplines allowed me to study and apply concepts in a cross-disciplinary fashion. For me, it was a robust, invigorating program. — Dave Remund, Ph.D., assistant professor, Drake University, MCL ’08

The MCL degree from Drake was the deciding factor that qualified me for the job I now hold. — Doug Wells, assistant professor, Grand View University, MCL ’09

I am constantly going back to books I read throughout the program. I have become a better communicator within our company, more involved in our community, and I try to maintain the attitude of a servant leader at all times. — Rachel Flint, Sales Manager, Hubbell Homes, MCL ’08

I started the Drake MCL program knowing how to be a communicator, and my intention was to use the program as a platform for career growth. I did emerge as a smarter and more skilled communications professional. What I really value from my time at Drake, though, are the big insights I took away about who I want to be as a leader, not only at work, but in my family and community. — Amber Siever, Communications Manager, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, MCL ’10
