Tonight! Join our Psychology Club, the Psi Chi honor society and more for Light of Hope and Healing, a campus-wide event focusing on hope, healing, and connection. We will share activities and connection as we remember those we lost and build a community with each other. We will have bracelet-making, rock painting, free cocoa, and more from 6:30-7:30 pm on the Potomac Place Lawn on West campus. We hope to see you there!

Julius will also be one of three Psychology majors this year to be inducted as McMurran Scholars, Shepherd's highest academic honor!

This week’s Scholar Spotlight shines on psychology major Julius Gamber. Julius is a recipient of the C. Brown and Hazel M. Hendricks Scholarship. Designated for students majoring in home economics and family life, or related fields such as psychology, arts and music, this award was established by Hazel Hendricks ’34 to honor her and her husband’s high regards for a Shepherd education, especially in the field of home economics.

“My scholarship has inspired me to keep pushing with my studies,” said Julius.
