I'm Shane Clarke, and I'm a PhD
candidate at Walden University.
Thank you for the
opportunity to tell you
how Walden University
has helped me
effect positive social change.
By pursuing a doctorate
in criminal justice,
I've been able to have a
positive impact on my career,
my community, and my country.
Studying criminal justice
at Walden University
has given me a definite edge in
my career in law enforcement.
It helped me get hired by
a great law enforcement
agency, which has given
me the opportunity
to practice the principles
of community policing.
This has had a definite
positive impact
on the members of the
community which I serve.
Also, by attaining my
doctorate in criminal justice,
I will be able to
realize my dream
of serving as a sheriff
or a chief of police.
Walden University
was a major influence
on my decision to open my
successful martial arts school.
I've been able to see
Walden's vision of having
a positive impact
on my community come
to life by teaching the
members of my community
the essential values of honor,
dedication, and integrity.
Because of my demonstrated
love for education,
many of my students have gone
on to pursue higher education
at prestigious schools
across the country.
I am a member of the
military reserve.
I'm an Operation
Iraqi Freedom veteran,
and I've deployed and
mobilized five times
over the course of my career.
As you can imagine, my
schedule is pretty hectic.
So you'd think pursuing
a doctorate would
be almost impossible.
But with Walden University
program delivery model,
I am able to access my course
material anywhere I am serving.
Walden University has
influenced me to balance my life
and seek to become a
successful warrior, protector,
and scholar.
Walden University helps
make me feel invincible.
Thank you for taking the time
to hear my story, and thank you,
Walden University.
