Dr. Stutts writes, "Adam graduated in May and is now excited to work in the New York City Department of Education's recently created Office of Renewal Schools. He is a part of a small team of analysts who use data tools to monitor, assess, and improve the policies and practices that impact 94 identified schools throughout NYC. He also participates in policy decision-making and program design, conducts research, and will soon begin teaching his team how to use R. Before his current role, he worked in the South Bronx as an interim elementary school assistant teacher. He's more than happy to talk to psych majors about the great impact of statistics and psychology in the nonprofit and government sectors."

1842 - William James was born. James founded the first demonstration laboratory of psychology equipment in America (1875) and wrote the classic Principles of Psychology.
