Big congrats to Sarah Herrmann for being accepted into Mount Mary University’s Master of Science in Art Therapy program!

“My professors have truly helped me succeed and pick the best path for my future,” Sarah says. “When I started at UWL, I knew going to graduate school was always in my plan. My advisors and professors helped me along the way with any applications or portfolios I needed, making it very clear that they are always here to help, even beyond UWL.”
