The initial months were tough, and I often fantasized about leaving the program. The PDSP was a sta ble presence that helped keep me focused on my educational goals. I understand that times have changed and that many of the funding sources for the PDSP and its students are no longer in existence. This saddens me as these programs have created exemplary professionals contributing in all walks of life. Recently, I ha d my first opportunity to give back to the Department and the PDSP program and plan to contribute yearly.
Every contribution can help make a difference.
