After completing my Master of Education in Applied Behavior Analysis in 2018 from Arcadia University, I knew that it would be the perfect place to complete a doctorate program because of my experiences with the professors and the sense of community within the School of Education. I have professors that believe in my potential and future, and that means a lot to me. I have worked extremely hard to be where I am today, and I am beyond grateful for my mentor, advisor, and professors for supporting me throughout my journey.

—Keisha M. Robinson ‘18 MEd, ‘24 EdD
