	I graduated in Spring 2005 with a BFA in Digital Media, and I’m now living in Santa Monica, right near the beach. I do free-lance web design work (portfolio http://bluesheepstudios.com). It’s been going very well.

	Daniel Zajic


	Software Application Developer, Ruby on Rails at Regence BS in Computer Science, 2001 MS in Computer Science, 2002 I can't imagine having gone to a school where the focus was solely on the knowledge specific to my field, without a corresponding emphasis on universal laws, and on improving the container for knowledge.

	Elisa Fritsch


	I’m a real estate agent focused on hotel sales in Baltimore, MD. I spend most of my day interacting with hotel buyers and sellers, and negotiating deals, which often requires persuading the buyer to come up in price and the seller to go down.

	Emily Marcus


	Medical Student, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD BA in Maharishi Consciousness-Based Health Care, 2004 My studies at MUM gave me the basis for being able to maintain a balanced perspective in a field that’s both mentally and physically demanding; this has helped me succeed in an intense environment.

	Jennie Rothenberg Gritz


	Senior Editor, The Atlantic, Washington, DC. BA in Literature, 1993 My degree earned me a respect that was different, but in many ways more potent, than the respect I would have earned if I'd gone to Stanford or Yale

	Jesse Berkowitz


	Right after completing my MBA (June 2004), I became a marketing manager for Human Factors International (HFI), which does software usability consulting — in other words, we help companies design software and websites that are intuitive and easy-to-use, something everyone can relate to.

	Sara Daley


	Community Volunteer, Portland, OR BA in Literature, 1999 \| MA in Art, 2000 I am grateful I was able to have both top-notch classes and professors, but also an entire school of top-notch friendships (including my husband!) that I still have 10 years later.

	Stephen Hopson

	Steve Schneider


	President & CEO, New Market Hardware, St. Louis, MO BA in Business 1983 My years at MUM formed the foundation of everything that came after that time. I greatly appreciated the interdisciplinary format on which the school was based.

	Troy Van Beek


	Founder, Ideal Energy, Fairfield, IA BS in Sustainable Living, 2009 Coming from a military and paramilitary background, I have to admit that MUM was akin to walking on the moon for me in comparison to the life I lived for over 12 years. Not to say that I have never had a spiritual side. I did. It wasn't until I was working in Africa, setting up a security company of my own and at the height of my career, when I decided I needed to make some hard choices about my life.
