I am in my third year in the Psy.D. program on the Chicago Campus. This year in Student Government, I am building upon my two years of experience to further enhance the student experience, exemplified by extending the registration window from two to four weeks, as I successfully achieved in the previous year.

Sahar Al-Naijar | Diversity and Inclusion Officer

I am a third-year doctoral student this fall and I am in the Psy.D. program at Adler. My role seeks to serve as a lighthouse for all students by supporting and striving to uplift our collective and diverse voices and experiences. I am an undergraduate psychology professor at a community college outside of my doctoral program and clinical training, and I thoroughly enjoy applying everything I’ve learned back into a fun classroom setting with such a lively group of emerging students each term!
