| Angeles Cheung "COR gave me a glimpse of what graduate work will be like. My experiences at various conferences were valuable in preparing me for graduate work, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr. Avery Goldstein, Dr. Kenneth Green, and other members of the faculty. My way of release from stress: playing music while coloring in my favorite coloring book, running, playing with clay, laughing with friends. My goal: work in the field of clinical neuropsychology." UPDATE: CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK (4/99). |

| Aldwin
Domingo " My primary
interest is in the psychology of language (Psycholinguistics). In particular,
I want to investigate how readers understand and comprehend written text.
In my current recent research project, I investigated the factors that
contribute to the understanding of the Tagalog language. In another research
project, I investigated the ability of readers to provide inferences to
provide before and after sentences. In the future, I would like to investigate
the "cause and effect" structures of a set of instructions. To learn more

Update: There will be a Dr. Aldwin Domingo from University of Minnesota in five more years. (3/99) |
| Crystal
Howard "I am pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Counseling
Psychology. My career goals include providing counseling services to underrepresented
ethnic minority communities through family and youth services provided
in the school and through private practice. I also aim at engaging in research
endeavors that affect lower socio-economic status and ethnic minority concerns
and challenges. Outside of school and in my spare time (if I have
any), I like gardening, arts and crafts. Regarding my best COR memory,
the trip to Washington DC in the fall of 1998 was definitely it. I enjoyed
the talks given by very intelligent, eloquent and inspirational speakers
there. The weather was also perfect. I admired the old historic buildings,
and enjoyed experiencing a truly "fall" season and its accompanying spectrum
of red, orange, and yellow leaves."
Update: Crystal is in her doctoral studies at University of California at Riverside (9/99). |
| Dung-Hanh Nguyen "I'm intrigued by the applied aspect of Psychology. I have considered sub-areas of Clinical, Counseling, Cross-cultural and Social Psychology before making up my mind about going into Industrial / Organizational Psychology. In terms of hobbies, a power nap, lone sight-seeing, excellent books, independent movies, and hanging out with peaceful and cheerful friends are my ways of stress coping and recharging my batteries. I guess that makes me a desperate introvert. However, my COR fellows continue to be my great support system at school. They help me feel so young and focused." |
| Andrew
Poulos "My primary interest is understanding
how external stimuli create and influence synaptic change, and how these
changes contribute to learning and memory formation. On my free time
I like to drive and take long walk near large bodies of water. Another
pastime of mine is playing and watching sportive events. Oh, I also like
to go deep-sea fishing. My academic goals include getting accepted into
a graduate program in behavioral neurosciences and eventually teaching
courses in psychophisiology and carrying out research till I die. Dream
schools: USC, UCLA, or Arizona."
Update: The Doctor-to-be Andrew Poulos has been accepted to University of Southern California. (3/99) |
| Corina
Rico "My primary area
of research interest involves HIV primary and secondary prevention in adolescents
and ethnic minority populations. My commitment is to further the understanding
of community health issues, especially substance abuse and HIV, through
applied research. My specific interests include the psychological,
behavioral and social factors related to these health issues, prevention
of them, and their impact on the community. My goal is not only to be an
active researcher in a governmental agency, but also to maintain my ties
to the community and deliver services to communities in need of education
and intervention efforts. On weekendsI love to dance, especially
Rock en Espanol & Salsa!!! I also admire the artwork of Frida
Kahlo."
