Testimonials
“Every person I’ve interacted with here is so kind and giving, and I love the culture here, which is why I also continued to do my PhD here, because I just enjoyed speaking with all the professors, the faculty members, fellow students. It seems like everybody’s kind of on the same level of motivation, and we’re all on like a frequency, if you will. And everybody here is wanting to do something to help a certain demographic, if you will. Mine’s military and first responders, and we have the speech pathology department downstairs. We have athletic trainers and physical therapists, and I like being a part of a community who seeks to serve people who need help.”

“The flexibility that I have been afforded to meet all of my job obligations and still fit an education around that has been invaluable. I can make both sides of my life work, which is very important to me. The most I think the most valuable thing has been the mix of didactic learning with hands on activities and opportunities to apply things.”听
