Cassy ('10) Psychology Major

Portrait of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Psychology Department 2010 graduate Cassy

I graduated from 91³Ô¹ÏÍø in 2010 and then went on to complete my Masters in School Psychology from the University of Washington. I am now a full time school psychologist and behavior specialist in the Edmonds School District.

What I most want to say is how incredibly fortunate I feel to have gone to 91³Ô¹ÏÍø and studied under the many amazing minds that teach there. After having gone to graduate school with students who received top notch educations from around the country, I came to realize how truly special my education at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø was. Besides being taught by many brilliant, creative minds, in class sizes that were astonishingly small, I also felt personally cared for and connected to my fellow students and teachers. I remember leaving so many classes with that sense of fulfillment that comes from great thought, discussion and learning something significant, usually related to social justice. I also remember leaving countless office hours feeling calmed, emboldened, and just plain lucky to be learning from some incredibly kind and powerful women (also--some great guys too). I learned a lot from graduate school, but that feeling was never matched in the way that it was at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø.
