Student Testimonials

Joshua Josh
I chose Lander University because it has one of the best psychology programs in South Carolina, and several of my closest mentors recommended the school. Lander offers a unique experience that allows students to interact with professors on a level that is not universally available at larger institutions. The instructors have a lot of knowledge about their respective fields, and each offers an interesting and unique perspective. The students, too, are incredible and I am grateful to be surrounded by some of the most intelligent and talented peers I have ever met. I enjoy working as a teaching assistant for the department, and the experience I have gained has been invaluable. I am also a member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in psychology, and I will serve as president of Lander’s chapter next year. During my time at Lander, I have gained knowledge and skills that will help lead me to a successful career.

When searching for schools, it was important for me to find a university that was small enough to promote mentoring relationships with faculty, but large enough to provide diverse opportunities to further my academic career. I chose psychology as my major because I am interested in studying human attitudes and behaviors, and I have a genuine desire to help people through research and counseling. As a psychology major, I have held leadership roles in Psi Chi, represented my department within Student Government, served as a teaching assistant and conducted independent research. My leadership experiences, combined with the guidance and support from my professors, have helped me develop into a well-rounded student and individual.
