Alumni Spotlight: Stephen Joyce B.S. in Urban Studies, 2008 Originally from Auburn, MA, Stephen Joyce is a FT Firefighter Paramedic in Sturbridge, MA today. This is hardly surprising given that among the first jobs he had after finishing his degree was an EMT. He says it was a "love of helping people and meeting the needs of the community" that got him into this line of work. Among the most important things he learned while working on his Urban Studies degree were: how to collaborate with people, how to approach and accomplish research projects and data analysis, and the importance of being exposed to and working with multiple cultures. Important lessons for the 21st century to be sure.
