Commenting on his direction in drama therapy, Wilder Nutting-Heath says, "Because of Antioch's Drama Therapy program, I am able to use my training to educate and counsel men on issues of intimacy and masculinity through the lens of drama therapy. Antioch has been very supportive in cultivating my specific interests, as well as providing me with the necessary training and skills to be competitive in the counseling field. I have now found my voice as a writer, artist, and counseling professional." In addition, Adam Davis is the Antioch student representatative to NADT, Lashon Watson and Holly Brewer are both serving in internships; Lashon at Seattle Pacific University and Holly Brewer at Kline Galland Home.
