Inspired by Guidance and Mentorship from Professors
I found the psychology professors always ready to help students and their valuable guidance continues to inspire me after graduation.
Academic focus: Math and psychology double major
Internship: Intern, Global Corporate Banking, Citi Bank
I studied math and psychology in my undergraduate career, and am currently pursuing a doctoral program in math. I have really appreciated my experience with psychology at ¹û¶³´«Ã½, especially the opportunities for research projects under the supervision of professors, which familiarized me with the procedures of conducting scientific research.
For example, I learned methods to design a study appropriately, to collect and select data, and to analyze and report results. Although my research in graduate school lies in a different field, I benefited a lot from my study of psychology and training in these skills.
At four years since graduation, I still remember the classes I took in the psychology department. In my senior year. I registered in a lab class of speech processing, taught by Mara Breen. At the end of the semester, when I found a problem with the data for my final paper, she helped me re-invite the participants for the experiment in order to correct it in a very short period of time.
I feel very thankful for her consideration of students’ needs. I found the psychology professors easily reachable and always ready to help students. Their valuable guidance continues to inspire me after graduation.
