Carlos Pagan
When I started looking at graduate programs, I was at a point where I knew I wanted more not just professionally, but personally. I had spent years serving, leading, and supporting others, but I felt like there was unfinished business for myself. ODU felt like a place that understood that journey. It wasn’t just about getting a degree it was about growth, healing, and proving to myself that I belonged in those academic spaces.
