2024 eQuality Scholar Emma Lossing sent us this update:
"My second year at UC Davis has been a wonderful experience. I am currently at 91% progress across my two degrees in human development and psychology. I plan to graduate in Spring of 2027, finishing both degrees in 3 years. As I have completed much of my necessary coursework, I have used this school year to pursue interests in research and teaching.

"This year, I have developed a strong interest in psychology research—specifically the interactions between childhood trauma and psychopathology in adulthood. In the past month, I published my first literature review in the UC Davis Aggie Transcript, my university's official undergraduate research journal. I am…currently drafting my next literature review. In this review, I am examining adolescent ma*****na use in Mexican-American teenagers and cortical thickness in relation to emotion regulation.

"I have also been interning as a research assistant at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain. I have been collaborating with graduate students to understand how poverty impacts the physiology of brain regions related to stress regulation and executive functioning. This experience has set me on a path for my future career. In the fall, I plan to apply to the UC Davis psychology PhD program to pursue research. I hope to become a child clinical psychologist at the UC Davis MIND Institute, specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder and childhood trauma research.

"In Spring quarter, I have been devoting time to my peers as a learning assistant in Dr. Victoria Cross's Research Methods in Psychology class. This is my second quarter volunteering as a learning assistant; my duties include holding my own office hours and discussion section, facilitating review sessions, offering one-on-one tutoring, and grading assignments. I have really enjoyed being a mentor.

"I thank the eQuality Scholarship Collaborative for supporting me from the very beginning. I owe all my successes to the generous donors for making college possible for me. Thank you very much for your continued support."

2022 eQuality Scholar Dylan Baker sent us this update:
"I wanted to let y'all know that I have graduated SDSU with zero debt!!! Getting that scholarship from y'all put me on a path where I could go to university; before that scholarship I didn’t think I was gonna go to university, let alone graduate debt-free. That scholarship had a massive impact on my life. Now I’m pursuing my masters in Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego. Thank y'all so much; I’ll always be very grateful to y'all."
