"I did my internship at CNRS Aix-Marseille Université. I worked in the MeMoPsy Lab which specializes in studying memory processes. I worked on an experiment to gather data on response times of visual word stimuli to speech production. I created, published, and processed all the data for this experiment. I learned that I enjoy a work environment that is more relaxed and easy going. I feel more productive and enjoyed going to work. I also learned that I love to travel and see the world. This impacted my path by showing me what a great work environment looks like. I am going to look for this in future jobs. I also want to continue to study and learn French and go back to France in the future."
Catherine's story
What better combination for an internship than the mesmerizing scenery of the South of France and an amazing neuroscience program at Aix-Marseille Université? Electrical engineering and computer science major Catherine Haley '28 worked the Centre de Recherche en Psychologie et Neurosciences in Marseille, France.
"I believe I had some of the most formative experiences of my life going to France. I have lived in the US my whole life and it had kinda felt like a bubble. I had felt like I knew the world and what was happening but actually living in another country for 2 months has definitely opened my eyes."Catherine Haley '28
