Class of 2021: At 62, lifelong learner Joyce Swenson is ready to take on new challenges
Monday, April 26, 2021
After decades of teaching and working in community development, Joyce Swenson wanted to reinvent herself by going into the medical field. In May she will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in clinical laboratory science from the VCU College of Health Professions.
“I’ve always had a passion for the medical field as well as community development. This is something I always wanted to do,” said Swenson, 62, who works in the hospital lab at Saint Francis Medical Center. She said she will likely continue to do so after she completes her degree.
