From Boise State Online to career success

Jana Richens

Jana Richens, connected with Dr. Sin Ming Loo, founder of the cyber operations and resilience program at Boise State. As she got to know Dr. Loo, she learned more about the program, which was entirely online and asynchronous, meaning it could fit into her schedule and fulfill the requirements of Idaho National Laboratory’s employee education program.

“Going to school was really fun because I felt like I knew what I was getting myself into, as the classes were always relevant to what I was working on at the moment. I knew that everything I was learning I’d be able to put to use in my career or my future career.”

Jessica Greenberg

Jessica’s coursework at Boise State had an immediate impact on her role at CATCH.

“My manager at CATCH said that I was able to bring back the direct information I was learning at Boise State to my workplace and improve the organization holistically. “She tells me, ‘You helped with our vision and drive in every area of our organization you were able to contribute to.’ It was awesome because it was a direct way to serve the community.”
