Higher education provides credibility and empowerment for disadvantaged students. Dr. Priscilla Zelaya
I am hosting a conversation on the role and purpose of the Ph.D.
I have invited several contributors to join in on the dialogue, some in different roles and with different views. Today, I am pleased to publish our third article in this series, from Priscilla Zelaya, PhD.
At the age of 27, I proudly walked across the University of Florida graduation platform to receive my PhD. As a young, Nicaraguan-American woman desiring to seek justice within vulnerable communities, I knew this degree would prepare and empower me to live out my calling in inexplicable ways. Now, four years later, I clearly see the vast benefits my degree offered me as a woman of color. Whenever other women of color ask me if they should pursue their PhDs, without hesitation, I strongly encourage them to do so.
