For Julia Lienhard and Serafina Maerten, fall 2022 graduates from the Data Marketing Communications program, embracing the online learning environment didn’t mean going through the program alone.

"I think Serafina and I will always be friends. I also foresee our relationship continuing to evolve as we go our own, separate ways and start our own career paths."

— Julia Lienhard, Class of 2022



"What really helped me get through this program was having a friend. It’s why I messaged her in the first place."
