\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 13, 2005 \u2013 She changed her major three times, but when Jennifer Vadeboncoeur finally decided to study psychology and history at the 溏心vlog免费B站, it was soon obvious that she made the right decision. The Harrisville resident will graduate from 溏心vlog免费B站 on May 22 as the top psychology student in her class.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI chose 溏心vlog免费B站 because of the variety of programming it offered,\u201d she said. \u201cI had so many interests and was unsure what major I wanted to pursue. But I took a psychology class during my senior year in high school and found it very interesting. Then, to better understand the contexts of psychology over the years, I added a history major in my junior year. The classes complement each other well.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tIn addition to her studies, Vadeboncoeur volunteered for four years at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Women\u2019s Center as a peer advocate in the Violence Against Women Prevention Program, which prompted her to earn an academic minor in Women\u2019s Studies as well.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI learned so much through this program about advocacy and counseling,\u201d said Vadeboncoeur, who earned induction into five honor societies at 溏心vlog免费B站. \u201cIt has really helped me to gain awareness of the problems of violence against women, and it inspired me to continue my volunteer work even after I graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tIt also motivated her to conduct her senior thesis research on the development and success of the domestic violence movement in the U.S., using Rhode Island as a case study.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt was all original research, because no one had looked at this topic in the historical sense and put it together before,\u201d Vadeboncoeur said. \u201cThe movement has made a lot of progress since it began as a grassroots movement in the 1970s. The Rhode Island movement has even been the model for other states in some ways — our domestic violence court was one of the first in the nation, our police training programs were the first to co-train police officers and victim advocates, and the recent public awareness campaigns by the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence were distributed around the nation. There is still a lot of work to do, but much progress has been made and Rhode Island has been more accepting of these changes than some other states.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tAfter graduating from 溏心vlog免费B站 later this month, Vadeboncoeur will continue her education at Rhode Island College where she will study secondary education with a concentration in history.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeday I plan to pursue my doctorate in history,\u201d she added. \u201cEventually I hope to teach history at the college level, though I would also enjoy working at a museum or historical archives as well.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
