We asked the members of the 2020-2021 Student Committee to answer some questions about themselves to help you get to know who they are and what they do.

Cecilia Allan
Communications Officer 2020-2021
Cecilia is a first year Ph.D. student in Clinical psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University

Why psychology and the law?
First of all, it is clearly the most interesting interdisciplinary field in psychology! I also think it is one of the most important. My interest in psych and law first emerged in high school. I had a few friends with mental illnesses who became involved in the legal system and I saw how much it hurt their ability to move forward. This led me to question why the legal system treats individuals with diagnoses this way, and I began to explore how I could contribute to changing those responses.

If you could only watch 3 movies or tv shows over and over for the rest of your life, what would they be and why?
Friends, New Girl, and The Office (minus Scott's Tots... too cringe). All of these are great fluffy distractions - and they get funnier every time I re-watch.

Is a hotdog a sandwich?
Maybe

Explain your hot take about hotdogs

I would say it depends on where you are. In America: Absolutely not. You use a bun specifically designed for the hotdog. It is CALLED a hotdog bun and it is used for nothing other than eating hotdogs (at least it shouldn't be). However, in Australia, they use regular sliced bread as the bun for hotdogs - that could pass as a sandwich.

What is a quote you like and who said it?
"Ask not what disease the person has, but rather what person the disease has.” - Sir. William Osler

What is your favorite take-out/delivery spot near your school/campus?
Unfortunately I have never been to campus (COVID...). I'm going to guess it will be some place with cheap pizza (& garlic knots).

What is your favorite city and why?
Nashville - love the live music scene there!

If you were not in graduate school what would you do?

Event planning.
