Peggy E. Bochun
M.A. Psychology, Child, Couple and Family Therapy, 2002
 Peggy Bochun sees herself as someone who brings about change in her community.
"Antioch, I believe, has helped me to have a greater awareness of the need for social change and that this can be accomplished in small ways, beginning with one’s view of the self as a catalyst," she says.
"I was attracted to Antioch's history, philosophy and multicultural awareness."
"Antioch is not just about getting a degree, it is about personal awareness and growth. Programs in psychology at Antioch are designed to give students opportunities to gain knowledge and to participate in self-inquiry. These elements that can lead to personal transformation are the first steps to affecting change in one’s environment."
Now a couple and family therapist in Vancouver, B.C., Bochun says her Antioch studies helped her develop a richer therapy practice. "I am aware of the many social and cultural factors that affect my clients," she notes.
She chose Antioch for just that reason. "I was attracted to Antioch's history, philosophy and multicultural awareness. To me, Antioch seemed to present a more diversified educational plan, while still being fully accredited — addressing various learning styles, course offerings and the whole person," Bochun says.
Graduation tops her list of best memories. "To be honest, walking across the stage to get my hood and master of arts degree was like a rite of passage that acknowledged my hard work, completion of an era as a student and my growth as a human being."
