Success Stories
"The race, gender, and economy certificate has been an asset in my current position as a logistics management specialist for the United States Air Force because it allowed me to learn about women’s economic standings all around the world. This has helped me to better understand the cultures of countries I currently work with and for countries I will work with in the future. Many of the things I learned in the courses have also been applicable to my own life."
