Charlotte Lawhorne is a psychology major at WVU.

About Charlotte:

• Current Research interests are behavioral interventions, choice, extinction and punishment.
• My favorite thing about WVU is that there is such a diverse group of people here. Living in the mountains isn't so bad either!
• After I graduate, I want to get my master's something that enables me to become a BCBA. I'm not sure yet what that will be. Then, I want to get my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Rae Manning is a psychology major at WVU.

About Rae:

• My current research interests are learning how to read and analyze the data from the labs.
• My proudest achievement is placing top ten in my graduating high school class.
• My favorite thing about WVU is the atmosphere, diversity and friendliness!
• My goal after graduation is to attend graduate school in an I/O Psychology program.
• In my spare time, I enjoy being with my sorority sisters of Pi Beta Phi helping with community service projects, attending sisterhood events, and participating philanthropies. I also like going back home and watching my younger siblings play basketball and run track. And using our rescued blank and tan coonhound as a pillow.
