I chose the Rollins MHR program to broaden my depth of knowledge in the HR and people strategy fields, but I left the program with much more. The MHR cohort included a diverse group of professionals from various industries, levels, and backgrounds that created a culture of innovation and creativity. The balance between the professors and the cohort provided me with an education and experience I still leverage today. Holly McGiboney ’12MHR Executive Vice President for Human Resources Ministry Brands
