From Foster Youth to Doctor
Southern Illinois University’s Department of Psychology is reporting on one of our students: “DOCTOR Smith’s work has appeared in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, Journal of Career Assessment, and Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being.”
This is what we like to see: our students earning prestigious titles, degrees and jobs; our students giving back; our students having a positive impact on the world.
Michael Smith (Ph.D., 2011, Kansas State University) was one of our Casey Family Scholars. He is now an Assistant Professor in the Applied Psychology program at Southern Illinois University. How did he go from foster youth to doctor? Learn more about his journey.
