SCHOLARSHIP CORNER

I am a senior Psychology major, with a minor in Biology. I am from Køge, Denmark and came here to swim on the Swimming and Diving team here at Marshall, while still getting my education; an accomplishment which is hard to do in Denmark, as there are no athletics in connection with university. This spring I was awarded the Research Scholars Award, as well as being appointed one of this year’s SURE grant recipients, which is giving the opportunity to continue the research I am currently conducting with Dr. Paige Muellerleile and a group of other students at Marshall. Furthermore, I am going to a national psychology conference in Chicago to present the work we have done so far. After graduating in May, 2009, I plan on going to graduate school somewhere in America, as opposed to going home to Denmark. There are many reasons for this; one being that I really like it here and actually feel more at home than I do in Denmark. Also, it seems like there are more opportunities than in Denmark, when it comes to what you want to specialize in and research. Currently, I am considering specializing in Social Psychology, something that was very unexpected to me, because I have always been very interested in the biological aspect of behaviour. But through my work with Dr. Muellerleile, I discovered a hidden curiosity for how our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and others influence our behaviour and life and I now love to observe people and look at the interactions that occur between people.
