Two lucky students were recently awarded NVC Psychology scholarships at the annual NVC Psychology Day on campus on Nov. 7.
Jett Davidson and Andrea Arredondo were awarded $500 each. Jett read his winning essay to the audience in which he talked about dropping out of high school as a junior, and a drug addiction that landed him in jail for several years. A therapist encouraged him to go back to college and he eventually found his way to NVC. Now, he wants to be a psychologist to help others on their journey of life.
Psychology Day gives students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to learn about psychology through hands-on activities and demonstrations as well as from guest speakers. After the demonstrations, the scholarship winners were recognized, which was followed by a presentation from Carolyn Jones, the senior clinical manager of the Eating Recover Center.
