Hands-On Experience (Literally)

“I came into college knowing one of my majors would be psychology. I was absolutely fascinated with how the brain works and our interactions with one another. I mean, on what other campus would you get to hold a brain? I have learned so much in my classes here that has shaped my perspective on so many other subjects and experiences in my life.” — Charlotte West ’25, government and psychology double major from Prince William County, Virginia.
