Danielle Peartree, Psychology '19

"I think that one of the most unique features of the psychology program at Concordia University is the amount of interaction and support you receive from your professors. Speaking with a lot of my peers who did not graduate from Concordia, they are always surprised at how much care and concern the professors have for their students. The mentorship I have received from the professors has been instrumental in securing some of the biggest job opportunities and continuing education opportunities in my career and I am so thankful for that!"
