Student Ambassador: Joe Thornton

I grew up in Scituate, MA, and fortunately spent my whole childhood in Scituate public schools and sports programs. After graduating from Scituate High School, I went to UMass Amherst and got a BS in Psychology before being accepted into the William James College School Psychology program. I chose William James College because of its impressive reputation, kind and accepting community, and unique first-year practicum experience. So far, at William James College, I am an ACE for my program's cohort and a student ambassador. In regard to my career interests, I look forward to learning more about child development and education, as well as counseling, so that I can best support kids during their crucial developmental years. I want to become an expert in this area so that I can make a positive impact in as many kids' lives as I can so that they grow up into healthy and functioning adults who can positively impact the world! If you are interested in William James College, the best advice I can give is to embed yourself within its warm and welcoming community because, with the support of all your peers, there is no way you cannot succeed!
