After Rivier
-
From Start-up to Finish Tech company co-founder Keri Suslovitch ’19 found herself when she returned to finish her degree.
A demanding and successful job led Keri Suslovitch to put her Rivier education on hold. When life afforded the opportunity to return to school, Keri didn't hesitate to re-enroll at Rivier and once again found it was a perfect fit. As a Professional Studies student, she was able to apply the lessons she learned in evening classes directly to managing her business during the day.

My student government experience grabbed the attention of potential employers. I spoke knowledgeably about maintaining a budget, delegating work, organizing committees, being accountable, and other non-clinical skills.
