Graduated 2017
“This program opened me up to the world of how wellbeing is integrated with organizational development, workplace culture, and the way that it is structured directly impacting the wellbeing of everyone there. This learning ultimately led me to my current position. The encouragement to obtain mentors and to contact local leaders and organizations throughout the curriculum, paired with the University’s reputation, opened doors to learn even more.”
Melinda Sorenson

Director of Workplace Wellbeing

Graduated 2020
“The skills learned during my tenure help me in my career as a military professional. Daily, I need to help with soldiers' problems; things like retention, motivation, and engagement are directly correlated with my duties and what I learned in the I/O program.”
Hector Vazquez

Military Intelligence Officer

Graduated 2021
“Upon leaving the program, I was able to find a role in learning and development. Upon arrival, I learned that the department needed so much more internally. I was able to conduct interviews for a job analysis and stop position ambiguity. Employee Engagement needed to be addressed, projects needed to be organized, leadership needed feedback and the acquisition of merging two teams needed to be strategically thought out. The MIOP program thoroughly prepared me for all the challenges so that I could be successful.”
Jennifer Ross

Learning and Development Coordinator

2017 Graduate
“Completing the program was rewarding because earning a master's degree was a huge goal for me. It also set me up for a promotion which I am grateful for!”
Darvin Moore

Supervisor of Logistics Support, DoD

2021 Graduate
“I was born and upraised in Sweden, and I came to the United States in 2010. Additionally, my parents come from Finland, and therefore I am multilingual (Finnish, Swedish, and English). My language barriers impact every aspect of my life, especially in the workplace, where you need to communicate effectively with others. My education at Bellevue University has prepared me very well to pursue my doctoral degree in I/O Psychology. The program gave me excellent skills in preparing me for research with courses that enhanced my writing skills, critical thinking, statistical foundations, psychology theories, and a deeper understanding of organizational issues in the business world. I can genuinely say that Bellevue University has prepared me in every way to pursue my educational goals and the dream of becoming a doctor in I/O Psychology one day.”
Tuula Ayers

Sierra Renner
