Department of Psychology

Dr. Glenn Stanley transferred from Palm Beach Junior College, majoring in Chemistry, to University of Florida where he received his Bachelor's in Neuroscience/Psychobiology. He then went on to receive his Ph.D from Princeton University in Neuroscience & Physiological Psychology. We asked Dr. Stanley to share about his transfer student experience as well as some words of wisdom to our transfer community, here are his responses:

In community college I learned to, to my surprise, that I could succeed in college. I believe that the maturity and life experience you have as a vet, combined with your success in community college, should make you much better prepared to excel at UCR than is typical of a fresh out of high school student.
