Lehigh University College of Education | Counseling Psychology Program

"As a counseling psychologist in training who places a great value on multiculturalism and social justice, I think it's important to make an impact on those around you... in the lives of clients, on our campus, in the community and beyond. My involvement in my academic program and in my graduate assistantship gives me the opportunity to not only contribute to our college, but to the larger university, something which I feel works towards fostering a positive, supportive learning environment from which we all benefit ."
