Bryce Henderson
M.Ed. in School Counseling Student Named 2022 MASCA Graduate Student of the Year
After obtaining his undergraduate degree and landing a job in higher education, Bryce Henderson followed his dream of becoming a K-12 School Counselor and applied to Merrimack’s Master of Education in School Counseling program. Bryce explains that he chose Merrimack due to the college’s small size, affordability and opportunities for students to help with program growth and development.
“A major goal for me is to impact as many students as possible and help elevate their voices because everyone has a story to tell—and that story is important and valid.”
While excelling as a full-time graduate student at Merrimack, Bryce also gained real-world experience in the counseling field by working in an elementary school in Lexington, MA. He shares,
“I ended up really just falling in love with the work and the methods and procedures behind school counseling.”
