On February 27th, 2019, the US Department of Education announced funding cuts to Argosy University. This unexpected closure impacts faculty, staff, and students in a number of ways, short and long term. Support for those impacted is very important, and we want to express the availability of the ACA Graduate Student Committee to be there for you during this difficult experience. We understand that this is a confusing time filled with uncertainty. On behalf of the Graduate Student Committee, we send our compassion, support, and sympathy for all those affected by the university closure.
If you are a student from Argosy and would like an outlet for sharing your experience, please feel free to reach out to the Graduate Student Committee at acagradstudentcommittee@gmail.com. We can consider options for a future blog post, such as sharing themes from experiences of Argosy students and best practices for navigating this type of process.
Please also see below for the attached resource tips provided by ACA:

Again, our hearts are with you - and please know that we support and stand beside you.
Sincerely,
The ACA Graduate Student Committee
