Upon returning from their professional development opportunities, SoACE Professional Development Scholarship recipients reflect on the impact of the scholarship and what they learned in a blog post, shared with the SoACE Community. However, impact ripples even after the professional development opportunity ends. Reflecting on their experience with the SoACE Professional Development Scholarships, former recipients recently shared:
My week at NACE-MLI overloaded my brain, but ultimately I know I’ve used many of the points we discussed and deliberated each day since. If it was not for the SoACE Scholarship, I don’t think I would have been given this opportunity to attend MLI.
– Tara Stevenson, Flagler College, 2016 Awardee
I feel extremely privileged to have received the SoACE professional development scholarship to attend the 2017 American Psychological Association (APA) Annual Convention. It was exciting to participate in such an enormous convention while also heartening to find a smaller community of professionals who share interests in vocational counseling.
– Stacy Shields, University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2017 Awardee
I am grateful that I was chosen as a recipient of the SoACE Scholarship in 2017 because I gained new tools, skills, and information that will benefit my colleagues, current students, and alumni. I urge every member of SoACE who is eligible to apply for the scholarship!
– Donna Srader, Texas Tech University, 2017 Awardee
