He was co-president of the Psychology Club, a member of the psychology honors society, a work study in the Department of Anthropology, Sociology, and Criminal Justice, and served as his class commencement speaker. After graduation he became a research assistant for the MSU College of Human Medicine in downtown Flint.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon is fondly remembered by both his department faculty and those who were involved on his journey through UM-Flint.<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Psychology, Terrence Horgan, PhD, reflected that Brandon, &#8220;was committed to excelling in school in a number of ways. He displayed a very positive attitude toward his education, and he always did his level best in class. His seriousness in class benefited his peers tremendously because it motivated them to demonstrate the same. Brandon was a role model in this regard because he elevated the quality of education that other students got in class.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Alvey, associate professor of anthropology and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/wgs\">women&#8217;s and gender studies (WGS)<\/a> and director of the UM-Flint WGS Program added, &#8220;When I think of Brandon, I think of a very hard working and dedicated person \u2013 someone who gives his all to everything he does. He is kind, funny, and light-hearted, but he also has a serious side, is very committed, and truly patient.\u00a0Brandon had to cultivate these qualities or perhaps confidence in them, but somehow he found the courage and even desire to do so, which inspires those around him to give it a try, too. He\u2019s the kind of person who makes us and the work we do &#8211; whether in the classroom or in an office \u2013 better. I miss seeing him every day, but am so happy to know that he is pursuing his Master\u2019s degree and enjoying his research-based work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2490\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2490\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2018\/02\/05\/alumni-spotlight-brandon-taylor-of-um-flint-psychology\/taylor3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2490\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2490\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/Taylor3.jpg\" alt=\"Brandon Taylor (left) joins fellow UM-Flint Psychology alums at a career panel for current students\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/Taylor3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/Taylor3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brandon Taylor (left) joins fellow UM-Flint Psychology alums at a career panel for current students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Read on as Taylor reflects on his time at UM-Flint, gives an update on life after graduation, and shares advice for current students.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you doing now and\/or where are you heading next?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m a full-time research assistant for MSU at The College of Human Medicine in downtown Flint. I\u2019m part of the SPIRIT Study, which stands for Suicide Prevention Intervention for at-Risk Individuals in Transition. Essentially, we\u2019re investigating whether or not a suicide prevention program is clinically effective and cost effective. Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, we\u2019re tracking suicidal ideation and behavior of people reentering the community from jail in Michigan and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also a part-time graduate student at MSU, pursing a master\u2019s degree in clinical social work. Conveniently, my courses are held in the evening at Mott Community College, so I have the easiest work-to-school commute that I could hope for. After graduate school, my hope is to go wherever I feel I\u2019m needed in the realm of social welfare, though I\u2019d prefer to find initial employment doing clinical work in Flint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did your UM-Flint education prepare you for what you are doing?<br \/>\n<\/strong>UM-Flint was instrumental in giving me a space to explore my interests. Though I have love and appreciation for psychology, my heart resides in social work. Funny enough, my First-Year Experience course, Intergroup Dialogue, heavily influenced the trajectory of my interests. My professors always provided constant encouragement, support, and guidance that truly boosted my once-low self-esteem. This, in conjunction with the numerous opportunities they provided, empowered me to reach beyond my perceived limits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who made the biggest impact on your time at UM-Flint?<\/strong><br \/>\nI can\u2019t pick just one. Drs. Alvey and Laube [of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/sac\/department-sociology-anthropology-and-criminal-justice\">Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice<\/a>] always provided praise and encouragement. Drs. Heinze and Stein [of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/psychology\">Psychology<\/a>] always gave positive feedback and introduced me to working with groups via peer facilitation. Dr. Horgan provided innumerable research opportunities, both in-class and in his lab. Dr. Kassel [of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/studentsuccess\/student-success-center\">Student Success Center<\/a>] constantly challenged me to leave my comfort zone. Wendy Carpenter\u00a0[of the Student Success Center] helped me find courage when I doubted myself. Lynne McTiernan [of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice] was always so kind, generous, and considerate when I was her work-study\u2026 I am forever indebted to the faculty and staff at UM-Flint for going above and beyond to help me academically and personally.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2489\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2018\/02\/05\/alumni-spotlight-brandon-taylor-of-um-flint-psychology\/taylor2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2489\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2489\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/Taylor2.jpg\" alt=\"Brandon Taylor serving as UM-Flint commencement speaker in April 2017\" width=\"430\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/Taylor2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/01\/Taylor2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brandon Taylor serving as UM-Flint commencement speaker in April 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What value did you find in UM-Flint\u2019s approach of including hands-on learning and applying lessons to real world situations?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I found this priceless.
