Jennifer Mozolic ’03, a professor of psychology at North Carolina’s private Warren Wilson College, has been named to NerdScholar’s second annual list of “40 Under 40: Professors Who Inspire.”
NerdScholar, a financial literacy website focusing on college students, said in a news release that the 40 professors under age 40 were chosen “based on their ability to captivate and engage students in the classroom, their outstanding involvement on campus and in the community, and their overwhelming passion for their subject matter.”
A story on Warren Wilson’s website quotes Mozolic saying she is “fascinated by the way the brain supports human thought and behavior. In my classes, I love connecting students to the basics of neuroanatomy and neuropsychology by providing them opportunities to experience things firsthand – like touching a human brain or hearing nerve cells sending signals.”
Mozolic is in her seventh year of teaching at the college. At Mary Washington, she majored in biology and psychology. She earned a doctorate in neuroscience from Wake Forest University.
