Undergraduate Honors Theses

In an attempt to maximize their academic performance, many American college students turn toward such prescription stimulant drugs as Adderall and Ritalin, which can increase users' attention span and ability to focus, but are not without risks, including such aversive side effects as anxiety, migraines, and obsessive-compulsive behavior.

Body Consciousness: The Effects Of Posture On Musicians’ Performance Anxiety, Christina Farley

2017 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity – Documents
