Dr. David de Jong, Assistant Professor of Psychology. After a 12-year career as a bicycle messenger and then owner of a courier company in Toronto, I started college at the age of 31. In my 2nd year of undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, I got hooked on research and then completed my Ph.D. in social-personality psychology at the University of Rochester.

I am a senior in the elementary education program at Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵapp and have a minor in English. I moved with my family to western North Carolina in 2008 but grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee. While missing the hustle of a large city, I quickly grew to love the beautiful mountains and slower pace of life I found in the small towns around WCU.
