My role as FUSA president changed the way my senior year looked and I wouldn’t have wanted it to do it any other way. It’s an experience that I will never forget that forever changed me. The biggest piece of advice I could give first year students is to take chances. Taking those chances can make all the difference. So don’t hesitate. Just go for it.”

Shannon Harding, PhD, and behavioral neuroscience student Madeline Kitlas ’24 conducted research that investigated sex differences, social isolation, and behavior, using a rodent model. They examined the impact of social isolation during adolescence on anxiety-like behaviors and spatial memory, as well as the potential benefits of treating these deficits with taurine, a dietary supplement and semi-essential amino acid that affects the neurotransmitter GABA. Their study was based on more than a year of data collection. They presented their faculty-mentored research project at the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences Conference in Bergen, Norway.
