The skills I obtained through Mitchell Hamline’s IP program have already helped me navigate complex situations going on now in my family. If it wasn’t for my employee discount at Purdue Global, I likely would have enrolled at Mitchell Hamline to begin with. I love Mitchell Hamline! ~ Nicholas Mahoney, visiting student
