Jennie Rothenberg Gritz, the Senior Editor at The Atlantic, Washington, D.C., received a BA in Literature in 1993 from Maharishi University of Management. She speaks about her education:

"As an 18-year-old, I applied to Maharishi University of Management because I wanted to spend four years developing myself. I also wanted to study English literature from a deep perspective I knew I wouldn’t fi nd anywhere else. After graduation, I learned that my decision had immense practical benefits out in the world."

"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. It marked me as an independent thinker and helped to set me apart when I applied to a competitive graduate program at UC Berkeley.

"Today, as an editor at a national magazine, I credit Maharishi University of Management for training my mind to look beneath the surface of things—a skill that helps me every day in my career and keeps my inner life rich and rewarding."
