Immersion
Immersion Is…an opportunity to follow your curiosity and learn by experience. This unique program allows psychology students to delve further into the areas of research that interest them most, and possibly find new paths ripe for investigation. Through Immersion Vanderbilt, students pursue a two-part project beginning with experiential learning and ending with a culminating project.
Students who are interested in learning more about Immersion experience options should contact Ashleigh Maxcey, senior lecturer of psychology and psychology Immersion coordinator.
