Vickilyn Tuni (FLC '23)
Hello, my name is Vickilyn Tuni. I am from Mexican Water, Utah part of the Navajo Nation. I am pursing my psychology major at Fort Lewis College. I am interested in studying to help the Navajo Nation people to find solutions with cognitive, social influence, and physiological mechanisms. The psychology professors have provided support in research, medicine, coding disorders, defining diagnosis, and providing real-life situations. My senior research class was on animal behavior with Dr. Fulmer. His motivation in helping me understand research gave me the encouragement and confidence to carry those skills into my future research.
My senior research study collected data on the different responses to dyadic actor movement by the recipients in dyadic encounters under varying relative body conditions (of actor/recipient) in a social group of female mule deer. Many studies do not explore the relationships among female mule deer but focus instead on the males.

Brianna Hobbs (FLC '23)
Animal Behavior Society Charles H. Turner Award Winner 2022 I am interested in studying human behavior in attraction among early adults. My name is Brianna Hobbs. I was born and raised in a small town on the Navajo reservation. I received my early childhood education learning the English language because I was monolingual in my own Diné language. After earning my diploma, I attended a community college also located on the reservation. It was a tribal college called Diné College which I attended for 2 years then received an Associate’s degree in Social and Behavioral Science. In 2021, I transferred to Fort Lewis College where I continued studying in Psychology. At Fort Lewis College, I worked with psychology professors who helped me understand more about research. I worked on a study on nonhuman primate birth order and attachment. I also conducted a study on my own ethnic group (Diné) regarding cultural knowledge and birth order of siblings within my own community. I also did a study on sex addiction among college students which was associated with an addictions course that I have taken. |
