Background

About Mark Vanderhyden

During my academic career, I have overcome many challenges in order to become a student at the University of Michigan. During my time at Michigan, I have worked as a research assistant in the field of psychology. I have developed and furthered laboratory skills such as data analysis, protocol design, and literature review as well interpersonal skills of participant interviews, public speaking, and leadership. I have worked with the Ross School of Business at Michigan through programs such as Magnify and +Lab. With a focus on positive leadership, I have developed the ability to lead teams efficiently and support team members through Positive Organizational Scholarship. I have expanded these skills into the student organization Camp Kesem by facilitating leadership roles within the organization as well as holding a Fellow Lead position within the +Lab at Michigan Ross. My interests are within the field of law. I pursue law because I have the potential to influence policies and the communities in which I serve. My goal in life is to not only make a difference in the lives of others, but to make a difference in the world as a whole. Fulfilling my highest potential in the field of law will allow me to accomplish my life's mission and vision of promoting justice and equity for all. I have not given up on the goals that I have set out for myself in life and I will not give up until I have accomplished what I set out to do.
