B-W Spotlights
Transfer and Adult Degree Students
More than 500 students transfer to B-W each year to study in our traditional undergraduate and accelerated adult degree completion programs. Just click on the list below to read what B-W's transfer and adult evening weekend students have to say about their experiences at Baldwin-Wallace College!
Mandi Ansberry
Adult Degree: Managament
I love the accelerated courses -- fewer weeks with more focused work really keeps me focused.
Mike Bittinger
Adult Degree: Business and Human Resources, BA earned 2007
My four year degree has opened doors beyond what I initially expected. Having a degree does not guarantee a position; however, there are more opportunities available once your degree is earned. Because of my classroom experiences, internship, faculty mentors and actively pursuing my interest in corporate ethics, I have achieved my goal and am now employed as a Compliance Analyst with KeyBank.
Jason Brennan
Adult Degree: Business, BA earned 2006
I thought it would be a hassle to go back to school, but B-W made it easy to get started -- and most of my credits transferred.
Liane DiGiandomenico
Adult Degree: Human Resources
I have been able to progress through my program quickly without feeling I have been cheated out of anything because of the accelerated pace. Attend the events sponsored by B-W -- they are great and offer networking opportunities that you may not get at any other college.
Dina Driscoll
Transfer Student: - Finance and Marketing
I chose B-W because of the Dual Admission Program with Cuyahoga Community College. I also chose B-W for the environment, location, diversity, and great education. When I came here I felt at home.
Daniel Eberhardt
Adult Degree: Finance and Management, BA earned 2007
As an adult degree completion student at Baldwin-Wallace College, I wanted to earn a respected degree in Finance so that I could enter the field of Corporate Finance or Investment Banking. I now have a position with National City Bank. It's a significant career move for me and an increase in salary too. I'm very pleased with my employment outlook now that I'm carrying a bachelor's degree from Baldwin-Wallace College.
Liz Forester
Adult Degree: Organizational Leadership and Psychology
I love that the professors really know how to apply their subject matter to life situations. I can’t count how many times I have taken something that I learned in a course and put it to use outside of the classroom.
Allyson Fridley
Adult Degree: Marketing
I chose B-W for its reputation, the location and fellow co-workers that are B-W students and alumni.
Genia Friscone
Adult Degree: Marketing and Public Relations
B-W has given me the skills I need to attain my goals by applying everything to real-life situations, and the confidence I need to face tough situations and impress employers.
Tiffany Good
Adult Degree: Marketing
I chose to attend B-W because of its reputation and its locations in Berea and B-W East, Beachwood. B-W's "student first" focus is bar none.
Bonnie Inniss
Adult Degree: Business, BA earned 2002
I have far exceeded my career goals since graduation and have developed my skills in banking going from secretary, to Business Development Associate, to Business Development Manager and now Portfolio Manager responsible for investments in small businesses.
Gina Jokilehto-Schigel
Adult Degree: Communication
Prior Learning Assessment (college credit for life learning) was one of the best things I’ve done at B-W! It was a good amount of work, but it really helped me to get ahead toward graduation!
Corina Kuhn
Adult Degree: Business and Marketing
During the holiday season the Public Relations Club, led by Dr. Sean Gilmore, traveled to New York City to meet with professionals in the field. We were given invaluable information and brought back samples and ideas for marketing ourselves.
Russell Marty
Transfer Student: Education - Mild/Moderate Educational Needs
I earned my Associate’s Degree from Lorain County Community College and nearly every credit transferred. I’m currently involved in an education group called Teaching Together, a literacy group called First Book which distributes books to children in need, and STAND (Students Taking Action Now for Darfur) which addresses awareness of the genocide that’s going on in the Sudanese region.
Beth Mlady
Adult Degree: English, BA earned 2002
I have used my education from Baldwin-Wallace to help me achieve my goal of being published both locally and on a national scale.
Cristine Paternoster
Adult Degree: Organizational Leadesrhip, BA earned 2007
I’m proud to say that a few months after graduation I was promoted to Director of HR and Administrative Services and received a10% pay increase! My degree paid off!
Cynthia Peskura
Adult Degree: Marketing
I'm very excited with B-W's Career Services Office. So far, I've met with a career counselor, participated in a resume building workshop and attended a Career Fair. The feedback I have received is preparing me to reach my goal of a position in Marketing.
Ellen Ryan
Adult Degree: Early Childhood Education
I've had a great deal of experience in the classroom teaching already, and see practices discussed in the classroom translate to the field. B-W professors are very knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects. They “practice what they preach”.
Cheryl Senko-Bevacqua
Adult Degree: BA with Majors in Communications & Public Relations, May 2008
"My income has increased about 35% since I’ve been enrolled in the evening degree completion program."
Kyle Skoczen
Transfer Student: History, Education/Adolsescent-Young Adult
Most of my courses from Lehigh transferred without a problem into requirements here at B-W. Outside of the classroom I play football here at B-W.
Denise Smudla
Adult Degree: BA in Business earned 1999, Executive MBA earned 2002
It’s never too late to go back to school – work and life experiences enhance your college learning and your fellow students’ learning as well. I have a great sense of purpose now, developing and implementing human resource programs and services to attract and retain a talented workforce.
Wendy Talbott-Broccone
Adult Degree: Still deciding -- Organizational Leadership or Psychology
I attended a professional development Covey workshop at B-W: What Matters Most, and determined that completing my degree was one accomplishment that mattered most to me. I immediately felt B-W was the kind of environment I would enjoy and thrive in. Now that more courses are offered at B-W East, things are even better.
Stephanie Tollefsbol
Adult Degree: Business and Marketing
Focus on every class, not because you have to take it, but because each course has unique information you can use in your life. Education truly is a gift and Baldwin-Wallace drives its students to be their best.
April Volk
Adult Degree: Business and Management
Evening-Weekend students are encouraged to participate in Study Abroad programs through the Explorations Office. I traveled with a class to Iceland in May 2007. This experience was incredible, and I gained knowledge that reached far beyond the classroom.
Maura Weiser
Transfer Student: Communication Studies, Health Promotion and Education
At a B-W, you don’t feel like a ‘number’ ... you feel that you are an important asset. I was greatly influenced to transfer to B-W because of B-W’s prestige and the likelihood that obtaining a degree from this college automatically makes you stand out in the job market. I participate in Junior Panhellenic Council (which is for Greek life) and now that I am well-adjusted to the campus, I plan to write for the school newspaper.
Tina Welton
Adult Degree: Management
I am proud to be a B-W student. I returned to college after 10 years absence and my heart and dedication are much more into achieving my goals now.
Kellee Williams
Adult Degree: Organizational Leadership and Psychology
I just started a new job and part of the reason I was hired was my enrollment at B-W in the Organizational Leadership degree. My employer felt the courses I am taking will relate directly to my new position.
Kim Yee
Adult Degree: Organizational Leadership, Certificate in Human Resources - BA earned 2007
I initially started work on the HR Certificate only, and then decided to pursue my bachelor's degree. The B-W East location and Saturday classes won me over. The evening and weekend classes fit with my work schedule.
