Joyce Wang

Joyce is a junior University Scholar from Memphis, Tennessee concentrating in Biochemistry, German, and Great Texts. Joyce lived in Earle Hall during her first year at Baylor and plans to pursue either an MD or PhD and eventually pursue cancer research after graduation. On campus, Joyce is involved in the Supplemental Instruction (SI) for BIO 2306, Developmental Oncogene Lab, and Delta Phi Alpha German Honors Society. 

Joyce’s favorite reading list book was Wise Blood by Flannery O’Connor. Her thesis involved examining John Milton's description of labor before versus after the Fall in Paradise Lost, and how this may reflect an interaction with the theology of labor in general. Joyce has worked with faculty mentors Dr. Phillip Donnelly in Great Texts, Dr. Jonathan Kelber in Biology, and Dr. Elisabeth Vichaya in Neuroscience.

To the new students Joyce says: “Take the opportunity of being a university scholar and explore classes that interest you!”
