"Earning my PhD from the graduate program at CU Boulder was a positive and intellectually enriching experience. Throughout the entire
degree earning process, I felt supported by faculty and graduate students alike. The mentorship was incredible, and not only helped me through
researching and writing a successful dissertation, but also gave me valuable tools preparing me for a successful career in academia.
"
