Alumni Spotlight: Rebecca Oprish
January 31st, 2013
Rebecca graduated in 2007 with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Computer Information and Office Systems with an emphasis on Website Design and Medical Office Support. She is currently perusing a Bachelor in Business Administration with an emphasis on Human Resources. When asked how the program helped her achieve her careers goals, she replied, "The CIOS program helped me achieve my career goals by helping me to develop many skills that are valuable in today’s office settings. The CIOS Skill Center gives students the opportunity to develop their expertise, all at their own pace. The instructors in the CIOS Skill Center are the best! They are there for you when you need them and are always cheerful and friendly! After graduating, I started looking for jobs that fit my skills. During my search, I saw that a position was open in the Mat-Su College Student Services department. I was hired in a temporary position and worked my way up to being the executive assistant in the Office of Academic Affairs. I couldn’t be happier! Thanks to the CIOS program, I was well prepared to take on the demands of a busy office".
