Feature
Meet Jesslin Williams
After high school, I wanted to continue my education at a school that was inclusive
and where I felt like more than just a number. When I toured USM in 2014, it felt
like a place where I could grow as an individual and much more. I completed my undergraduate
studies in Biological Sciences at USM in 2018. I decided to return to USM for my master’s
degree because I knew that I would be supported during the program and well-equipped
afterwards.
