I love working in all my labs. I’ve learned different aspects of the research process and they’ve increased my understanding of why I love working with kids. I’ve learned so much about empathy and compassion. It’s also made me more grateful for what I have.”

It integrates the many child- and youth-focused courses and service learning experiences across disciplines at USF to provide a structured course of study.
