I chose USF because of the faculty's commitment to social justice. My counseling psychology professors work in the field, advocating for marginalized communities and reimagining what it means to be a therapist. They bring these experiences into the classroom and enrich our learning experience. At USF, I can see that 'changing the world from here' is a goal that our community strives towards every day."
