Katie Schaefer - '06
I've worked at the National Institutes of Health for a year now and I'm still learning so much. I am still working on my project of emotions and social cognition in bipolar and depressed patients. I'm hoping to present a poster on my findings at my institute's retreat in September. I'm also helping to teach a portion of an SPSS stats class this summer with a statistician from my lab.
I'm still continuing the research I conducted at George Washington University. In August I will be presenting my findings at the APA convention, which I am really looking forward to. After that, I hope
to publish the results in a journal.
This fall I will be applying to clinical psychology programs mostly on the east coast.

Dean Charles - '05
I just finished my second year at Pacific so I finished my first year of clinical training, a thesis, and as a result earned my M. S. It was hard but I enjoyed it a lot. I was able to see a wide variety of clients and I was on a clincial team that focused on substance use disorder so I was able to treat some people with substance issues. I even got to give a lecture to some first year students about relapse and I made sure to dedicate a big portion to conditioning and the brain (I had to go back to my neuroscience of addiction notes and the julien text for that). I did my thesis on binge drinking within Asian-American college student populations. I gave students measures on acculturation, goal setting, and drinking habits. I found that mice are much more reliable than people. In about a week I will be starting my second year of clinical training. I'm going to be at Hazelden Springbrook.
