Educational Psychology
May. 9, 2012—For my Educational Psychology class this past semester, we could pretty much do anything that we wanted for our final project. Our professor suggested that we use our future careers as inspiration, with the only requirements being that it had to have seven to nine sections and it had to be related back to Educational...
The Mechatronics Master
Apr. 27, 2012—As I mentioned in a post near the semester’s beginning, my Mechatronics class culminated in a final design project. I celebrated Rites of Spring (click here for Victoria’s article) by staying up very very late night after night in order to design, build, troubleshoot and complete my project, and the fruits of my labor (the system and the 10-page...
Murray Magic Memories!
Apr. 4, 2012—Time flies by, and goodness gracious, I cannot believe that I am finishing my second year at Vandy within a month. You see, last night nostalgia hit hard when I went back to my first home on Vandy campus: Murray House. All alum Murrayites had been invited to the Faculty Head of House’s, Dr. Sharon...
Home Sweet Home: The Mayfields

Dinner with Chancellor Zeppos
Feb. 24, 2012—Last night, I had the privilege of visiting the Chancellor’s mansion in Belle Meade, which is about 5 miles from campus.

Spring Classes
Jan. 20, 2012—It’s weird to think I’ve only been back at Vandy for two weeks, because I already feel like I have my routine set—which is good considering I finalized my schedule only a week ago. So far, I’m pretty happy with my picks:
My Hopes for the Spring of 2012
Dec. 29, 2011—First, let me say that I am beyond pumped about this coming semester! Sitting at home, not so far from campus, I have some hopes for what I expect my semester to be like.
Review Session
Dec. 16, 2011—Currently, only my biology final stands between me and going home. Needless to say, I’m scared to death about it, but I’ve been studying as much as possible, and yesterday my professors held a review session, which is always helpful.
Research Opportunities
Dec. 15, 2011—I am currently finishing up my final report on the independent research project I worked on this semester. Vanderbilt provides students lots of opportunities to work directly with faculty on a research project.
The Wonders of Skype
Dec. 6, 2011—For those of you curious, you can stay involved on campus while you are abroad. Obviously, you cannot reach the same extent of involvement, and it greatly relies on your ability to deal with time differences, but it is very possible and rewarding!
Undergraduate Research at Vanderbilt
Nov. 27, 2011—For the past 2 and a half years of my college career, I have been working in a structural biology lab for credit. The various departments at Vanderbilt each have their own way of incorporating undergraduate research into their curriculum, whether they be science or humanities related. I am currently in the process of concluding...
