Alumni Testimonials

“I’ve always been passionate about social justice and the well-being of communities and groups. The community psychology program at AUC gave me the language I needed to express my feelings, thoughts and passions, and continues to expand my knowledge and experience in remarkable ways. Studying community psychology, in Egypt, as an international student adds a layer of depth to the understanding and practice of the field in ways that are unmatched.”

“The practical work I did in the community psychology program at AUC prepared me to become a consultant with nonprofit organizations. The program has made me more professional and flexible. I am better able to understand how diverse communities think, and to work with them in an empowering way. It also increased my networking skills; it was a real step forward in my career.”
