"Augusta University is a very collaborative environment, and I know that I can easily ask any professor or fellow student a question and get a positive response. Additionally, my work gives me the opportunity to feel like I can make a real positive change in the world."
"I was drawn to the pharmacology program because of my love for neuroscience and the department’s supportive environment. What really stood out to me was how willing they were to let me explore and try new things – allowing me the space to grow, take initiative, and learn in a hands-on way."
