Campus Champion

Junior psychology major Natalie Lipari was on campus for eight weeks this summer as the Undergraduate Research Council’s David F. Berger Summer Research Fellow. Her work with Psychology Department Chair Joshua Peck measured the effects of exposing female adolescent rats to an enriched environment on alcohol consumption. The research raised further questions about female adolescent alcohol consumption, so Natalie has reconnected with Peck to continue her research on this growing problem on college campuses. And she’s pursuing research projects with other professors. “Our professors are such a great resource,” Natalie said. All important steps on her journey toward a doctorate in clinical neuroscience.
