Felician alumni often share how their preparation experiences benefit not just their immediate classrooms and students, but their greater school communities. For example Dena Sweeney, a 2018 alumni of the Elementary Education and Teacher of Students with Disabilities program explains that:

Amidst the Covid-19 outbreak, I helped lead my colleagues and my administration through the transition to online learning by sharing my knowledge of virtual platforms, online learning programs, and webcasting software, all of which I learned while attending Felician University.

“As a working mom, what I loved most about attending Felician for my Master’s Degree was the small and focused community that was ideal for my academic success. I appreciated how supportive they were and had such a great experience.”
