Graduate Student Spotlight: Timothy Desmond
Timothy Desmond, a current Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student, recently published an article in Counseling Today, the national magazine for the American Counseling Association (ACA)!
In his piece, "Reinvention at Midlife: Lessons from Both Sides of the Desk," Timothy challenges preconceived notions about middle age, exploring how shifting perspectives can foster powerful personal growth and career reinvention—a journey that ultimately brought him to JCU.
When reflecting on his experience returning to higher education, Timothy shared: “JCU made it really easy to enroll as a non-traditional grad student because they’ve laid out the process clearly. The professors and advisors have really helped guide me through the program and figure out how I might specialize as a licensed counselor.”
