From Our Alumni
Katy Andersen, ‘22
“In the first quarter alone, we were able to perform our own research projects in which we could familiarize ourselves with various equipment of our choosing, such as EMGs, force plates, gait analysis treadmill software, 3D motion capture technology and more. Before I came to SU, I had zero experience with lab technology. Thanks to this program, however, my learning has been taken from textbooks and classrooms to real life application, and I am now confident in my abilities as a researcher!”
