Dede Assadji

Hello, my name is Dede Assadji. I'm majoring in Neuroscience, minoring in Psychological Research Methods and am part of the class of 2024. I’m also a part of the National Society for Leadership and Success, was a part of the Arnold Mitchem Fellows program, and am currently a Vincentian Service Scholar. I’m looking to gain experience with doing research so that I can be more sure of what I want to do post graduation. In my spare time, I enjoy working out, reading, and listening to and creating music. A fun fact about me is that I traveled abroad for the first time during AQ 2022 through DePaul’s study abroad program, where I visited three cities in France over the course of two weeks.
