My name is John Egbert and I am an undergraduate student
at the University of Anchorage Alaska student seeking a
Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. I have been attending
UAA since the fall of 2000 and I am currently in my senior
year. An interest in biological psychology, along with guidance
from two esteemed psychology professors (Dr. Madigan and
Dr. Murphy), has led me to work on my current senior thesis
project. In the future I hope to continue my research experiences
by continuing my education in psychology at graduate school.
