Megan Lindenmeyer
When it came time for Megan Lindenmeyer to choose a college, it was important that whatever school she attended offered both psychology and criminology majors.
Lindenmeyer was captivated by a psychology course she took at a local community college while in high school. She found the part of the course that delved into psychopathology particularly fascinating.
Since that class, Lindenmeyer has aspired to serve some of society’s most vulnerable members: Individuals who are or have been incarcerated and are suffering from severe and persistent mental health issues.
Today, Lindenmeyer is set to graduate from the University of Denver in June with a double major in psychology and criminology. Then in the fall, she’ll start graduate school to become a clinical psychologist one step closer to reaching a goal she set for herself even before she set foot on DU’s campus.
