In the fall of 2016, I enrolled in the Master of Nonprofit Studies program here at UR. I planned to finish in three years. In 2018, my dad became ill, so I took a leave of absence that ended up being longer than intended. He passed away, then COVID hit. I decided to reapply to make good use of my time at home. I made it to my capstone in the spring of 2024. Then my mom had serious health issues, and I had to withdraw. Finally, in the fall of 2024, I was able to complete my capstone and will officially graduate this coming Saturday🎉. Life can get in the way of your best laid plans, but if you stick with them…you will get there, eventually! Hopefully, some of the offerings below can help you set your course for the summer—even if plans can be disrupted sometimes. – Jane
