鈥淚 love the fact that all the professors here want students to gain experience and get involved. My first semester, halfway in I received a lab position with Kristina Bauer's Psychology Laboratory. I was so excited to be able to participate and create a new study from the beginning; I got to input ideas and help out with designing the possible study. The lab position also opened up my connections to psychology graduate students and other people within the department who have great advice. They have been very influential and helpful with my future plans.鈥

鈥淚 like that [as students] we can do research and that our professors make it really easy for us to get involved. They really teach us how to be effective scientists and allow us to take the lead of our own research. I hope to continue on to graduate school (specifically a doctorate in clinical psychology) and, after completing all of my schooling, open up my own practice that focuses on providing mental health care and mental health advocacy to black women in 电车无码鈥檚 south-side neighborhoods.鈥

鈥淢y eventual goal is to go to law school, and I think the analytical skills that I will learn throughout my degree will help me prepare for the LSAT. I have really enjoyed my courses and professors so far. Being at a smaller school is very helpful when you need help in a course because professors are usually very open to meet and discuss materials. I appreciate the wide variety of courses that I am able to take through my degree, and I feel that the knowledge I have gained will help me later in life.鈥
