Grad Knight to Know: Joy Slabaugh ’23M
Hometown: Wilmington, Del.
Program: Master of Arts in Counseling, Concentration in Trauma: Clinical Bases of Treatment and Recovery
Why Arcadia? I chose Arcadia for two reasons: 1) through their commitment to teaching multiculturalism in every course and class, I knew I’d learn how to counsel people with lived experiences different than my own and 2) their commitment to soliciting and acting on feedback gave me confidence that the student experience would be better than most. Both have proven to be true.
Post-grad Plans: I’ll be providing high-quality counseling to people from marginalized communities at price points that make care accessible.
Hobbies: I love to read!! I also enjoy being in nature, walking my dog, and spending time with friends and family.
