Joining the Higher Education program was one of the best decisions I've made. I thought I wanted to go back to school to be a high school guidance counselor but after speaking with the program founder, Dr. Kelley Kenney, I knew I wanted something where I could be in a more collaborative field. Dr. Kenney helped me get my Graduate Assistant position in the Office of Student Accessibility, where I was able to use past experiences to excel in that position.
