Spring 2021 Outstanding Graduate finds passion and purpose in nonprofits
April 23, 2021
After taking six years off from school to dedicate her time as a caregiver to her parents, Stephanie Pham enrolled at ASU as an undergraduate student in the School of Community Resources and Development, where she found a welcoming community and her “second home.” Along with receiving her Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) credential from the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, Pham will graduate this spring with a bachelor's degree in nonprofit leadership and management. This spring 2021 Outstanding Graduate, as featured in ASU News, said her experience as a volunteer led to her decision to dedicate her career to helping the less fortunate, and return to ASU for grad school.
