Janna Appelstein

“Attending Ramapo College was one of the best decisions I ever made. The courses were challenging, and the professors were engaging and incredibly helpful. My professors offered me invaluable guidance on how to get into graduate programs, and afforded me opportunities to participate in research, which was critical in order to gain admittance to Ph.D. programs. Ramapo has prepared me for the rigors of a Ph.D. program, and I will always be grateful to the professors and faculty at Ramapo for their commitment to student success.” – Janna Appelstein ’17 graduated with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Neuroscience.
