Alumni will always have a home in the College of Health and Human Development and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is proud of our graduates. We welcome your engagement and stories, and hope you can share your wisdom with our current students.

Alumni Spotlights
Our team loves working with alumni from underrepresented communities to share their journey with current and potential students. These alumni spotlights help students see people just like them succeed, whether they share the same race, sexuality, gender identity, upbringing, or disability as our alumni. If you are considering sharing your story, reach out to hhd-diversity@psu.edu to discuss how we can utilize your experiences to help HHD students succeed.
