in me as a student and was very helpful in terms of advising and helping me with my
transfer credits. The courses were very well conceived. The assignments built on
each other and were actually based in practice.I liked the practical assignments and papers. I feel like I learned a great deal
about being in the field of adult education and what the practice of being an adult
educator looks like. I’m able to advocate for those students as a result of my degree." - Hannah Digges-Elliott
