Emily Rose finds deep purpose in advocating for others. Having been raised in the foster care system without a consistent advocate of her own, pursuing a college degree was once out of reach. Barriers including undiagnosed chronic health conditions coupled with the cost of living forced Rose to choose entering the workforce immediately following high school over continuing her education. After a decade spent championing individuals with developmental disabilities across all stages of life, the 2025 graduate of the BS in Psychology and Human Services program commenced coursework toward her second degree from William James College earlier this fall. Her goal? Using the science of behavior to make a difference.
