Hello everyone, I am Toni Salisbury and I’m working toward a second bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity Administration, and this course is one of my required courses to complete my degree. However, I’m very much looking forward to it! I’ve really enjoyed all the writing classes I’ve been required to take for this degree, they seem to open up in some new way, how I think of writing and how I think of myself as a writer, even though I’ve been writing (professionally–mostly plays/scripts) for quite some time. I’m working toward my degree part-time, entirely online, as I currently reside in NYC. I’m a theater artist in NYC and have been for going on 11 years now; however, I’m also an employee of Syracuse University. My day job is the Administrative Specialist for a theater intensive program for seniors in the drama school, where they come study with us in NYC for their final semester of college. As I mentioned, I’ve taken all my Syracuse University courses online so far, and my best advice is be very communicative with the instructor when you have any issues, and try to stay on top of the work and deadlines as much as possible. Don’t wait until the last minute! These all-online courses can really catch up to you. I find them in some ways even more rigorous than in-person classes, most of the time. I look forward to learning with you all!
