Adrian Valadez, Ph.D. candidate in CCSP

"When I was first exploring my options for graduate school, it was important for me to feel like I could pursue opportunities that would meaningfully impact my surrounding communities. I chose UC Santa Barbara because the Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology Department housed talented advisors and students who were conducting research that truly served marginalized communities at numerous levels. I also felt that UCSB would be the best place for me to foster my skills as a clinician given our department’s emphasis on social justice and inclusive definitions of healing....Plus, have you seen how beautiful our campus is?"
