Field hockey senior spent summer researching memory retention
EVANSTON, Ill. -- It's not exactly breaking news to those who follow Northwestern Athletics that NU student-athletes not only regularly excel in competition but also in the classroom.
Kelsey Gradwohl, a senior member of the 14th-ranked Wildcats' field hockey program, is no exception. On the field, she has helped lead Northwestern to Big Ten titles each of the last two years as a defender. Off the field, the psychology major in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences spent last summer conducting research on memory retention under the supervision of renowned neuroscientist Ken Paller.
