CORY CLARK

My name is Cory Clark and I am senior Psychology major at UNC-Chapel Hill. I have been
working with the Center for Developmental Science (CDS) for a little over two years and I
have been involved with various projects throughout my time here. Currently I am in
training to be an RA this coming Summer and Fall of 2008 and will be doing kindergarten
and first grade lab visits along with a few others from CDS. In the Fall of 2008 I will
also be conducting my Honors Thesis through CDS with Martha Cox and Roger Mills-Koonce as
my advisors. Broadly defined, the topic of my project is father involvement in child
development. Further down the road, I hope to go on to graduate school for clinical
psychology and obtain a Ph.D. Ideally I would like to work in either a hospital or mental
health clinic setting in my future profession.

 

Hillary Langley HILLARY LANGLEY

My name is Hillary Langley, and I grew up in Matthews, NC (a suburb of Charlotte). I
graduated from David W. Butler High School in 2002, and attended UNC-Chapel Hill as an
undergraduate. At UNC, I became involved in the DCHD study at the end of my sophomore
year, and I continued my work on the study until I graduated from UNC in the spring of
2006. I am now a doctoral graduate student at UNC working with Peter Ornstein, studying
memory and cognitive development in young children, and still work as a part of the DCHD team. I love being able to see the kids at the assessments, and watch how they have grown over the years. I hope to be able to use the DCHD data as part of my dissertation, and ultimately one day become a college professor involved in research at a major university.
