In December, I will graduate in the program’s first cohort of students. The MSOLE curriculum resonated with my interest in exploring how work engages the whole person. What I didn’t anticipate was the personally transforming effect of the program. Talented professors challenged me to examine my unconscious assumptions. I was inspired to articulate my values and vision through books and conversations with fellow students on such topics as servant leadership and courage in ethics. My enhanced listening skills, critical thinking techniques and appreciation of the importance of diverse opinions positively affected all of my relationships. My expanded understanding of leadership became invaluable midway through the program when I took a position with the Texas Association of School Boards consulting with public school leaders to develop educational policy. The global timeliness of the curriculum was apparent this spring in Organizational Ethics as the media broke corporate scandals spotlighting voids in leadership and ethics. How fitting that 2002 is also the year St. Edward’s will award the first master’s degrees to students with a concentration in these skills."
