Brenau University graduate student Starr Jones visits shelter dog Lindi on Monday at the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia.
Playing with animals for class sounds great, right? For students taking Introduction to Psychology at Brenau University, the trip to the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia was a chance to experience an exercise that brought course theories to life and an opportunity to help animals possibly get adopted. The activity was established to assist students studying learning theory, said Perry Daughtry, assistant professor of psychology at Brenau, who said he has supervised the event for the last four to five years.
