The Wingate University Executive Leadership Doctorate was exactly what I needed to catapult my career to success within a large University System. The courses and experiences throughout the program exposed me to the hands on/real life scenarios I came face to face with every day, ensuring my success. While still in the program, I was able to procure a position as a Campus President, later moving to a position on the University National Team. I am confident that my time and experiences in the Wingate Executive Leadership Program set me up for many years of leadership success.

After years of searching for a doctoral program that fit my needs, I met Dr. McKay who introduced me to the HEEL program at Wingate University. The Higher Education Executive Leadership doctoral program at Wingate University was a perfect fit for me. Through the program, I developed many new leadership skills as well as expanded and strengthened skills that I already possessed. Because of the quality education that I received at Wingate, I now have a broad range of professional advancement opportunities available to me. I am so glad that I made Wingate University my choice!
