I have the opportunity to do the work I love at the highest levels. What I learned in the [EdD] program allows me to approach the work based on sound theoretical frameworks and best practices.

Gia Suggs, EdD graduate

The question I ask myself is what is my preferred future? When I looked ahead at where I wanted to be, I didn’t exactly know how to get there. So if you have a vision in mind or if you want to know the next step, I highly encourage you to reach out to Olivet and to allow them to partner with you to make that vision become a reality.
