"Throughout my time in the Family Life and Human Development program at SUU, I have enjoyed learning about family diversity, trauma, mental illness, child development, and other related topics while gaining experience in practicums and internships. My highly qualified professors not only challenged my academic ability but also developed personal relationships with me. They helped me gain a greater desire to make positive differences in the lives of children and families and the confidence to continue my education through graduate studies."                                                                                                                                                                                    - Halee G.
