I created this glossary to help me better understand important terms used in administration and management. Sometimes the vocabulary in this field can be confusing, so I wanted a simple place where I could organize the words, their meanings, and examples of how to use them. This glossary is meant to make learning easier for me and for anyone else who is studying the same topic. By putting everything in one place, I can review the terms more quickly and feel more confident when using them in class or in real situations.
