How did Evergreen prepare you for your professional life?

I had started my college career almost 20 years earlier, then put my formal studies on hold to have a family. At Evergreen, I was able to embrace my past learning and creatively integrate my experiences to pursue my academic and professional goals. I was able to tailor my coursework perfectly to my needs. I divided my time by participating in programs focused on the expressive arts, education and business, with the goal in mind of starting a local children's theater. Just 4 short months after graduating, we had our first production up and running and we haven't stopped since.
