Faculty Perspective

Psychology is the bridge between science and the human experience. When students study psychology, they’re not just learning about the brain or behavior, they’re learning how to think critically and apply knowledge to improve lives.

Shannon McGillivray

What excites me most as a faculty member is watching students discover that psychological science isn't just a subject…it’s a lens. It challenges them to question
assumptions, interpret data with nuance, and understand the complexity of human
behavior in ways that shape not just their careers, but their character.
