Please join us in congratulating our June student of the month! Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Audrey Garner is an outstanding psychology student who has demonstrated excellence in academics, undergraduate research, and campus involvement. A Dean’s List honoree from 2023–2026, Audrey presented research on inner speech and academic achievement at the 2024 Undergraduate Research Symposium and, during the 2025–2026 academic year, is participating in undergraduate research examining cricket behavior in response to aversive stimuli.

Reflecting on her experience as a psychology student, she shares, “Studying psychology at OSU has not only enhanced my understanding of behavior but has motivated me to grow in empathy and self-awareness, fostering a deeper appreciation for myself and others.”

Following graduation, Audrey plans to pursue a master’s degree in industrial/organizational psychology to promote equity and efficiency in workplace environments.
