JOEL R. LEVIN, PhD GRADUATE HIGHLIGHT
Kristin Kladis
PhD May 2018
"When I started the PhD program in the Special Education Department through the College of Education, I had no idea how this experience would positively impact my life both professionally and personally. This experience has allowed me to grow professionally and has opened many doors for me. My favorite part of my graduate program has been the collaboration with Special Education faculty at the University of Utah and across the country. I value the priceless opportunity to learn from leaders in the field of special education."
