Jacob Clapp, senior from Morganton majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology and minoring in psychology, is a recipient of the 2024 Outstanding Senior Award!
Clapp’s favorite memories at Appalachian are conducting student research and serving as editor of IMPULSE: The Premier Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal.
When asked about a faculty member who made an impact on his life, Clapp recognized Dr. Andrew Bellemer, Associate Professor; Dr. Joshua Broman-Fulks, Professor in the Department of Psychology; and Dr. Mark Zrull, Professor in the Department of Psychology. "Through their support, I've been able to get deeply involved in a number of research projects and the aforementioned journal work," wrote Clapp. "These relationships have been key in informing my life path, and I hope for many more students to experience the excitement of research," added Clapp, who plans to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology next.
