"To say that I love what I am doing with my life right now would be an understatement. Working in an assistantship that fits me perfectly, working with some of the best students a professional could ask for, and learning about a profession both inside and outside the classroom. What more could a graduate student ask for in a master's program?" Dylan Howser |

" Through CSA, I've had the opportunity to conduct research with a professor on student persistence in higher education. We're even presenting at a national conference this spring!" Vinika Porwal |

"Penn State's College Student Affairs program has had an immeasurable effect on my professional and personal growth and development. My experiences inside and outside of the classroom were tantamount to my success post-graduation. As a residence hall coordinator and later an assessment and research analyst at San Diego State University, I consistently used the theoretical paradigms and real-world case studies we analyzed during my tenure as a masters student. As a new doctoral student in higher education, I can say that the rigor of Penn State's program is bar none - I am most certainly prepared to engage in doctoral level studies. Penn State and CSA were the perfect fit for me." Tony Sclafani |
