Campus Champion

In the recent Sandwich Seminar, “I Learned by Doing,” and in a video filmed at the Science Symposium, Marla Hairston speaks about her applied learning experiences. At the College’s psychophysiology lab, Marla’s passion for the process of research psychology is apparent. The junior honors student sees her future in neuropsychology, specifically in traumatic brain injury. She credits hands-on opportunities, faculty attention studying emotional resiliency under Associate Professor of Psychology Leslie Eaton and using SUNY Cortland’s new electroencephalogram (EEG) for focusing her career goals. Marla boasts that she picked the right college. She’ll soon join a growing list of alumni who credit their undergraduate research experiences with changing their lives.
