Alumni Testimonials

I had a name but not a sense of who I was; SGT helped me develop that sense by defining me as a psychologist. After completing both my undergraduate and graduate degrees at SBSC, I not only have a deeper understanding of my field but also a more flexible mindset that helps me adapt to new circumstances with ease.

Richa Dhingra
