Psychology

Student Experience

My name is Emelie Sterner, and I am a junior here at Wilmington College. I am a psychology major with a minor in coaching. I am a part of the women’s soccer team, which was a big reason why I came to WC. I am also a member of the Wellness Committee and the International group. As an International student from Sweden, I am glad that there are other international people here. Having people both from my home country and other countries who are going through the same experience as me, makes me less homesick. Also, being so far from home, I really appreciate that everyone here at WC is always  so welcoming, nice and helpful. During my three years here, I have made lifelong friends and I have learned a lot. Wilmington has definitely become a second home for me, and I am glad I got the chance to come here.

I’m Kimber Geissinger and this is my third year at Wilmington College. I am a major in Psychology as well as a minor in Business and Criminal Justice. I am currently the secretary of Active Minds, a Student Senator, as well as a percussionist in the Pep Band here on campus. I had always had an idea of going to Wilmington College, but after my first visit during my senior year of high school, I knew. I immediately felt like a member of a new family. Everyone is always so kind and welcoming and the campus is beautiful. I truly have gained so many opportunities with the help of the Wilmington College family. I can’t wait to see where my future leads.

Hi! My name is Jaclyn Sparks and I’m a freshman majoring in Psychology. When I visited Wilmington my senior year, I immediately felt at home and surrounded by such welcoming people! With my short time as a WC student, I’ve gotten involved with Amnesty International and I’ve fallen in love with the organization, even becoming an officer! Learning about human rights has been so interesting for me. Although COVID-19 has affected much of my year on campus, I’m so grateful for all the work WC has put into making sure I’m on campus as much as possible. I hope that by continuing my education at Wilmington College, I can become the best person I can be.
