Lori Stone, Psychology doctoral student
"The opportunity
to apply what I have learned during my graduate
school tenure has been exciting, educational,
and encouraging. There is a particular thrill
in recognizing the ways in which my education
allows me to contribute directly to improving
something in my own community. The experience
I have gained in the health
synergy group taught me more about my
discipline, more about myself, and more
about what I have to offer once I graduate.
This alone makes the experience invaluable;
but, when it coexists with the chance to
be an active participant in my community,
the combination is unbeatable."
