    “The first class I ever stepped into during my college career was a psychology course, and from that early experience on I knew that an experience majoring in psychology was going to be life-changing. As an alum working in the field of psychology, I can look back and see just how well Eastern’s psychology department prepared me to take on both the professional endeavors and further academic goals.”
