Williams to study psychology
Carys Williams next stop will be at Wittenberg University, where she plans to study psychology.
Williams applied to a number of Ohio institutions, was accepted to all of them, but Wittenberg won her heart. “My mom is a Lutheran pastor, and they used to host a lot of gatherings for pastors there. That’s what first got it on my radar. I like the campus and it s close enough to home that I’m happy with it. They just blew me away with how welcoming they were.”
