VO: Why did you choose the University?

Me: I chose the university of new Haven for many reasons but these are my major reasons

Firstly, I chose new Haven because from my research i found out that it is a school that will position me for success in my Carrier path with the aid of their career development center which is one of the best in the nation. They will do this through their phenomenal and unconventional method of teaching most especially through their project based learning. It is a school that is positioned to turn my passion for HR into a rewarding life and a fulfilling career.
Secondly, I chose the University of new haven because it offers Human resource management with a concentration in employee relations which is actually my area of interest to help me acquire necessary HR skills to achieve my goal in increasing employees’ productivity and performance and also resolve or manage workplace disputes in my current workplace.
Lastly, I was awarded a 50% dean’s scholarship. These are my reasons why I chose the school

VO: Who is paying for your trip?
