TomΓ‘s Hill, who recently graduated with a major in psychology, landed a job at Duke University thanks to undergraduate research opportunities at 51ΑΤΖζ.

A conversation with a 51ΑΤΖζ professor changed everything for psychology major TomΓ‘s Hill. With support from faculty, hands-on research experience, and programs like McNair and STAR (Success Through Aging Research), he discovered not just what he wanted to do β€” but that he had what it takes to do it. Now, he’s equipped with the skills and confidence to pursue graduate school, with a clear goal to return to his home community and provide mental health care.
