Welcome back, Joseph Williams!

College isn’t just about classes—it’s about community.
Our Resident Assistants (RAs) play a significant role in creating a sense of belonging, from planning movie nights and hikes to answering questions and ensuring everyone feels welcome.

This week, we’re excited to highlight Joseph Williams, who graduated this past May and has now returned to Prince William Sound College—this time to continue his education and serve as an RA! Joseph is ready to help new students settle in when the semester begins on Monday.

Joseph’s journey is truly inspiring. After a 27-year gap in his education, he returned to college and earned his Occupational Endorsement Certificate (OEC) in Natural Resources Technician. He’s now continuing his education, taking classes toward his Associate of Arts degree in General Studies and OEC in Behavioral Health Assistant.

His path has been full of perseverance—balancing business ownership, family life, a career as a professional hairstylist instructor, and the challenges of relocating to a new town for school. Throughout it all, Joseph has maintained his focus on growth, knowledge, and supporting others in achieving their goals.

These experiences have taught Joseph resilience, adaptability, and the value of building connections—qualities that make him a perfect fit to support our student community as an RA. Whether it’s offering a listening ear, helping residents navigate college life, or sharing his hard-earned wisdom, Joseph is here to make campus feel like home.

Welcome back, Joseph—we’re so glad you’re part of the PWSC family again!
