Maggie Rogers is best known for her music and you can experience her talent on Monday, June 3. But what you might not know is that Rogers just obtained her Master of Religion and Public Life degree from Harvard Divinity School. This program is designed for experienced professionals who wish to develop in-depth knowledge of the complex ways religion influences public life related to their career areas. She is one of 11 people who will be the first to complete the new program, which launched last year.
“Whatever I was learning in class would immediately get put into practice in my professional world,” Rogers said. “It felt really integrated. The MRPL enhanced my work and vice versa. Now I’m going to spend the next year putting out this record and performing and living out so much of what I've been thinking about. I feel like I’ve just barely started to scratch the surface of what I’ve been studying here.”
