WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE AT MESSIAH AS A PERSON OF COLOR?
The world is abundant in diversity, and possessing the competence
to relate to people different than me was a skill first learned at
Messiah. From my first Intro to Psychology course to interactions with
my advisor, Professor of Psychology Rhonda Jacobson, I was convinced
that psychology was the discipline for me. The department was supportive
and
encouraging. I was honored to earn my doctoral degree and operate in the same capacity as they have for other aspiring students.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO STUDENTS?
Find your passion, discover the talents God gave you and pursue the vision for your life.
