Gary DeYoung
2022 City of Boston Neighborhood Development and Housing Innovation Lab Summer Fellow
Gary DeYoung is originally from the Boston area and worked in education in Mississippi and Arkansas for a number of years after graduating from college. He returned to Boston for graduate school, first earning a Master’s in Psychology, and now wrapping up a PhD in Applied Human Development from BU Wheelock College—what he calls a “hybrid of education and psychology”. He has also been involved with affordable housing and community development since his undergraduate years and is planning to work in that area after completing his doctorate. When not tied to his keyboard desperately trying to get his dissertation out the door, he can be found running, skiing, or hiking. Gary also enjoys reading and dog walking.
