Happy 2nd week of classes Monarchs 🥳 Here’s a belated recap of what our Psychology advisors got up to this summer!
Dr. Murphy’s summer consisted of the beach, pool, concerts, sports & baseball! Meanwhile Dr. Dunaway spent her time celebrating her niece’s graduation, enjoying some time in the mountains of Blacksburg, attending Tidewater Comicon, & seeing Beetlejuice The Musical in RVA 🎶
Professor Jennifer Muth & her 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, Venus, earned their BH this past May! The BH is a suffix title for "basic companion dog". This proved to be quite the feat as Venus is not fond of the rain, but their perseverance paid off as they scored a 93. Congrats Professor Muth & Venus! 🎊
Over in Massachusetts & Minnesota, Dr. William Johnson enjoyed his time traveling with family. He even got the chance to canoe with his daughter on a lake in northern Minnesota 🚣♀️ They also celebrated his daughter’s 4th & his son’s 1st birthday- woohoo!!
Lastly, Dr. Sanders, his wife, & his daughter spent their summer exploring the Hampton Roads area! Their time was spent at the beach and the pool, but they also went to a Juneteenth concert, saw some family, and visited the aquarium, zoo, and botanical gardens. He highly recommends the botanical gardens 🌷 And they provide a discounted admission for ODU students!
