P.S.

This is the story about one of our amazing graduates – and about making dreams come true. Kara was a 29-year old single mother whose dream was to dedicate her career to ending domestic violence. But Kara’s career was not moving and she desperately wanted to do more for her agency and the clients she served. In 2010 Kara entered the Program on Domestic Violence. Kara now calls that a life changing decision.  After completing the program, Kara was promoted to Director of Development at her agency and the research she had done as a student on meeting the needs of LGBTQ survivors was taking on national significance.  Kara’s dream to have an important impact on domestic violence in her community – and the nation – is coming true.

 

Many thanks,

 

Barb
