Class of 2019: Meredith Reagan
Meredith, from Cincinnati, Ohio fell in love with campus and the school spirit. However, the countless research opportunities related to neuroscience and human behavior finalized her decision to become an OSU Buckeye.
As a member of the Honors program, Meredith is working with Dr. Per Sederberg on her thesis titled, “Richness of experience and temporal accuracy for autobiographical memories: A lifelogging study.” She received a summer fellowship from the Undergraduate Research Office and presented at the Fall Undergraduate Research Forum. Not only has Meredith gotten involved in research, but she has also participated in the Psychology and Culture in Europe education abroad program. Her project for the trip reviewed the role of performance art in Rome, Venice, and London, as well as governmental influence on the treatment of the mentally ill. She stated, “This has been one of my favorite experiences at Ohio State. I loved getting to know other psychology majors and learning in a very non-traditional environment.”
One of Meredith’s favorite classes has been Clinical Psychological Science, stating, “it has taught me how to think critically as a scientist.” After graduation, she plans to attend graduate school in clinical psychology, with a specialization in clinical neuropsychology.
