Testimonials

Ammon Olson

/ First-Year BHSC

After spending several years working in addictions treatment, I have gained an appreciation and excitement for the field of human and social services. I have a personal love for the core message of the Alcoholics Anonymous program, that everyone has universal faults and that we need safe spaces to share those faults. Consequently, I would love to be involved in the production of knowledge for addictions and other behavioral problems post-graduation.
