[Man sits on a couch in student lab with computers, mouses, hard drives, notebooks,
electrical cords, books and speakers on tables behind him.]
Ken Griffin: My name is Ken Griffin, and I'm from St. Louis, Missouri. I'm completing my Masters
in Business with an Emphasis in Management and Leadership.
[Light instrumental music can be heard playing softly in the background throughout
the video.]
Griffin: When looking for a college to attend for a master's program I wanted something that
I could do online primarily, and also, have a home campus locally. So I was researching
several colleges in the area, and Webster was the best fit for my schedule and for
the location of my home.
[Griffin in the same student lab, now on a couch with computers, mouse, hard drives,
notebooks, electrical cords, books and windows on tables behind him.]
Griffin: The hardest part about getting a degree online or getting a degree is finding the
balance between work life, education and personal life.

CENTER]
[Griffin sits in front of his two monitors, keyboards using his mouse and landline
phone. A box of tissues, Post-it notes, and a lamp are also on the desk. One monitor
is showing a weekly work schedule.]
[An ambulance is shown with its lights flashing, driving down a street.]
Griffin: In taking two classes every nine weeks, for myself it was a little stressful at times
when I had major projects going on at work, major projects at home, and major projects
in class, it's like, where do I find the time to have Ken be Ken?
[Light instrumental music can be heard playing softly in the background throughout
the video.]
[Griffin looks over a spreadsheet or blueprint of something with another person on
a desk with a computer with monitors, mouse, keyboard and printer with paper.]
[Griffin stands at the front of a class talking to the students seated in front.]
[Griffin is dressed in scrubs, and face and hair masks, ID lanyard around his neck
and red tennis shoes, coming through double doors in a hospital setting. He takes
off his face mask as he comes through the doors.]
Griffin: But it works out in the end because you're able to find the balance in all of it,
and the professors and instructors are so understanding and accommodating that they
understand that life happens to you sometimes. So that was the most stressful, but
then again, it's also another positive about Webster.

electrical cords, books and window light on tables behind him.]
[Light instrumental music continues playing softly in the background throughout the
video.]
[Griffin in the same student lab but from a different angle on a couch with computers,
mouse, hard drives, notebooks, electrical cords, books and speakers on tables behind
him.]
Griffin: When thinking about taking online programs the one thing I recommend to students
is actually 鈥榤ake yourself a schedule.鈥� That's the one thing that I did the entire
course of my online degree. I made a schedule that I set to, that I kept and maintained
the entire time of when I should study or when I should participate in class, so it
kept me on track, and I knew exactly what to do every day.
[Griffin in the same student lab on a couch from another angle with computers, mouse,
hard drives, notebooks, electrical cords, books and window light on tables behind
him.]
Griffin: What appealed to me most about Webster was their (its) presence around the world.
When thinking about a college or university I want something that's known worldwide,
and Webster has so many campuses, not only online, but in other countries and other
states, and I wanted to be a part of a, you know, a community such as that.
Griffin: My name is Ken Griffin, and I am proud to be a Gorlok.
[Instrumental light, bouncy music gets louder and louder signaling the end.]
