This spring, students were given the opportunity to share what their experience at º£½ÇÂÒÂ× means to them. We’re so excited to get to share how the º£½ÇÂÒÂ× community has helped students grow not only academically, but professionally, and personally as well.
“I am sure that the world would definitely be a nicer place to live in if it were a little more like º£½ÇÂÒÂ×.”Â

 -Courtney Cabell, MA ’21, PsyD 1
“The community at º£½ÇÂÒÂ× has taught me that I can be an achiever, a hard worker, and resilient by completing one simple task; slowing down. Sometimes it amazes me how the simplest answer can be the most challenging yet eye-opening thing to discover.”
 -Alyse Dietz, MA with ABA
