Best advice for prospective students:
Take great care in choosing your graduate school and especially major professor, or simply Choose Auburn University and work with Chris Correia! Speak with current and past students as well as students in other labs to gain their perceptions of the professor and program in general… I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a proper fit. I absolutely love being a therapist, but if my major professor really didn't allow for me to explore this focus, I cannot imagine being able to fully realize my love for what I do!
Favorite thing about Auburn, Alabama:
The weather; not scraping ice from my windshield. It's also a great safe place to live with lots of nice folks and a surprising amount to do if you look in the right places.
