Words from our Alumni

“My Asbury Psychology experience definitely shaped me and my career. The small classes, creative teaching styles, and emphasis on basic and original readings gave me in depth exposure to the field that I don’t see students getting at the universities I’ve been at since Asbury.”

Dr. Michelle Sherrill ’02 vanDellen
Assistant Professor, University of Georgia

Words from our Alumni

“The personal relationships with my professors is something I look back on with great fondness. Their teaching and direction helped me find my calling in life, which is to serve as a School Psychologist in an urban school setting. I would not be where I am today without the solid foundation that was laid during my undergraduate years at Asbury.”

School Psychologist, Akron Public Schools, Akron, Ohio

“Getting an opportunity to work closely with Ph.D. professors prepared me well for graduate school — something that many of my colleagues did not experience in undergrad.
