About me
Hello, fellow classmates! My name is Amanda Butz and I am a first-year doctoral student in the Educational Psychology program. My research interests are in the area of academic motivation and college student success. Mainly, I’m interested in how to help students make a more successful transition to college and persist once they get there. I took this class because I am interested in what drives people to learn and pursue education in all its forms. I am originally from Florida, but moved to Kentucky a little over two years ago with my husband and our two cats. Outside of school, I enjoy cooking (especially baking bread), reading, and dabbling in music.

Greetings, Amanda! I'm looking forward to getting to read your thoughts as a student. I already have seen what a great researcher you are. Oh, and I didn't know about the bread baking talent. I think you should test out some new recipes on me. :)
