Dr. AmyHammondAssociate Professor of Psychology andDepartment Chair

“My model is that I’m your brain’s

personal trainer. And my job is to take

you wherever you are and push you

harder, and make you work a little bit

beyond where you are today. I think

that helps students discover their best selves, and push themselves to things

that they might not have realized they

can do.”
