David Kerns '08 writes, "I'm currently working as one of the producers of a new HBO talk show called Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons. The show is still new and finding it's footing, but I'm liking it so far. Before this, I produced a narrative series for Funny or Die and before that I produced a narrative series with CollegeHumor for YouTube Red and before then I was the Production Manager for The Late Late Show with James Corden. I left that show to take more creative roles in the projects since. More importantly than all that, I'm getting married next week [the 2nd week of August]!"
Congratulations, David!

Will Hunter '10 writes, "I just finished my 4th year at Baylor University's clinical psychology program, and I started my year of clinical internship 4 weeks ago. I am working at the San Antonio VA hospital (South Texas VA Medical Center) in a specialty position for severe mental illness. So far, my first rotation has been on a specialized outpatient psychiatric clinic for individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, with a focus on younger veterans and patients in first-episode psychosis, and it's been amazing so far. During my time, I'll continue with SMI-related rotations, like the acute psych inpatient unit next, as I'm hoping to eventually work in a hospital setting within this specialty. I'm also going to do a rotation on our TBI inpatient and outpatient units, which will be a unique experience, since this VA has one of the few polytrauma VA hospitals in the country. Hopefully by next August, I'll be "Dr. Hunter"! Also, I got married 2 months ago, and I'm proud to say that as of yesterday, my wife has her PhD in social psychology from Baylor. She actually went to Furman University for undergrad, so she remembers coming to Davidson while she was a student---small world!"
Congratulations, Will!

The mission of the Davidson College Psychology Department is to provide students with an outstanding education in all aspects of the science and practice of psychology. As committed teachers, researchers, practitioners, and advisers, we offer our students a rigorous curriculum of courses, research opportunities, and field experiences, combined with individualized mentoring. Thus are our students fully prepared to use their knowledge of psychology to flourish and to reach their highest level of professional attainment in their lives after Davidson. Critical to this mission, the department continuously works to maintain its standing as a nationally recognized center of psychological research and scholarship by supporting, encouraging, and facilitating the professional development of its faculty and staff. As psychologists who are dedicated to contributing to our discipline, we maintain a positive climate of collegiality, collaboration, high standards, and overall daily excellence within the department, from which our faculty as well as our students benefit both personally and professionally.
