Major: Psychology Minor: Business Administration
About me: Hi there! I am a junior at UWL, and I am majoring in psychology and minoring in business. I hope to pursue my Ph.D. in Industrial Organizational Psychology after undergrad. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and hanging out with my roommates!
Study tip: Teach the content to anyone and everyone around you! Your roommate, partner, cat- anyone who will listen! If you can teach the content, then you know the content.

Major: Psychology Minor: Sociology
About Me: I am a senior at UWL from Hortonville, WI. In my free time I enjoy hammocking, hanging out with friends, and working with kids with disabilities. I also work for It Make$ Cents, the money management center at UWL. My dream job is to be a School Psychologist.
Study Tip: Read the textbook and take notes! This makes the content in class easier to understand. I also recommend going to office hours to not only ask questions but get to know your professors!

Major: Psychology Minor: Neuroscience, Legal Studies
About Me: I am currently a senior at UWL from LaGrange, IL. In my free time, I like watching movies, hanging out with friends, and reading. I am also a member of the Women’s Swim and Dive team at UWL. In the future, I hope to become a lawyer.
Study Tip: Quiz yourself when reviewing material. This helps you comprehend the material rather than just being able to recognize it.

Major: Psychology Minor: Theater Performance
About me: I am a senior at UWL from Plymouth, WI. After graduation I plan to spend a gap year working in Italy, and then continue to study Psychology in grad school. Outside of Psych, I’m also really involved in theater, and I love hiking, baking, and hanging out with friends.
Study tip: It’s tedious but read the textbook before the lecture. You’ll then be familiar with the content before it’s taught, and it will be easier to understand during the lecture.

About Me: Hello everyone! I am currently a senior at UWL from Lyndon Station, WI. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, watching movies, being with friends and family, working out, and being outside. After I graduate, I hope to attend graduate school for physical therapy.
Study Tip: When you sit down to study, recall as much as you can about a topic from memory, even if you are not completely sure about it! After you do this, look over the information you have and pick out what you missed or did not recall correctly and address those topics!
