In this ode to Saint Valentine, staff put their red foot forward.

Strike a pose because the Tseng College is feeling the love. The staff assembled in the building’s atrium today for a rousing red photoshoot. We think you’ll agree: Our photographer, Cupid, is one heck of a shot.

Although it’s no box of Sweethearts – you’re heartbroken, I’m sure – this ensemble of red coats, pants, jackets, shoes and scarves is our festive consolation.

Here’s to all you lovebirds out there.

Happy Valentine's Day,

The Tseng College Staff

Are you wondering if a master's degree is a worthwhile pursuit?

Undoubtedly, getting a master's degree has many benefits. It can increase your earning potential, deepen your knowledge, and expand your professional network. During grad school, you can enhance your personal and professional development to stand apart and thrive in today's highly competitive and fast-changing marketplace.

Whether you're looking to advance in your current field or change careers entirely, an advanced degree can help you open new doors and develop a well-rounded skill set.

It's a typical scenario: you walk into the doctor's office, possibly after several postponements, afraid of what they might find. Will your blood pressure be up? Or maybe your cholesterol, you think. A myriad of possible underlying conditions flash suddenly through your head.

But what if, instead of health worries, your fear was based on who you are.

That, for most of our history, has been the experience of LGBTQ+ populations -in health care and elsewhere.

Fortunately, though, that's changing.
