Outstanding Graduate of the Year
About the ACHS Outstanding Graduate Award
Each year ACHS chooses a graduate to represent ACHS in the DEAC Annual Outstanding Graduate program. This program is designed to showcase the significant accomplishments of our graduates and specifically recognize the achievements of distance education students.
We encourage all graduates to consider applying to be the next ACHS Outstanding Graduate. Faculty and ACHS staff can also nominate graduates for this distinction.
2023 Outstanding Graduate Spotlight: Sian Seligman
Sian Seligman is a graduate of ACHS’s Master of Science in Herbal Medicine program and has been selected as the recipient of the ACHS 2023 DEAC Outstanding Graduate for making a positive impact in the herbalism and plant medicine field. Sian also completed the ACHS Integrative Cannabis Specialist™ and Integrative Psilocybin Mushroom Specialist™ micro-credentials. After working as a Brand Marketing Strategist, Sian’s journey toward plant medicine began when she took on the role of Chief Marketing Officer for a cannabis company. She felt the need to understand cannabis on a deeper clinical level, which led her to enroll at ACHS. As a busy professional, Sian found ACHS to be a great fit because of its renowned reputation in the industry and the flexibility it offers as an accredited college.
Sian’s journey is an example of how education can lead to personal growth and positive impacts on society. We congratulate Sian on her achievements and look forward to seeing what she accomplishes in the future!
