Description:
It has been 15 to 16 years in the arena of Higher education and counting; started as Financial Aid Counselor and presently as one of the Associate Director of Student Financial Services at a Four year non-profit institution of higher education. It has never crossed my mind to continue my master's degree but in times of difficult economic crisis and high competitors in the job market is inevitable that one cannot be blind to the economic and social environment and fallen behind by not upgrading yourself professionally, to maintain your job and continue be competitive in the job market. One of my biggest flaws in my profession is the lack of knowledge for Technology and its implementation. Therefore, I decided to take one class after almost 20 years on which I have not grabbed or read a book for schoolwork. As I mentioned one time to one of my peers, he advise me to go for Masters in Science in Technology management. I have to thank my colleague to encouraged me in start to register for a graduate course and to my professor for his patience, tolerance and understating by giving me the flexibility and allow me to follow and complete the material of the course at my pace. This course of Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, has been an exciting awakening in which had taught me the basic foundations to be able to choose my topic. The topic that I have chosen is leading the way of Higher Education into the 21st century. It has taken me several hours of researching related materials, journals and articles to see what other researchers has observed, wrote, developed and proposed to improve Higher education in the United States; what will take us to be one of the best among others abroad institutions of the world. Where the technology and economic globalization has already reached all facets of our daily lives and where it is time to act now.
