Cathy Crosby-Currie says her time as an undergraduate at Hamilton College made her realize she loved psychology and wanted to teach it in the future at a small liberal arts college in upstate New York. After earning both her law and doctorate degrees, Crosby-Currie says she now focuses her teaching responsibilities primarily on family and public policy. Crosby-Currie has published several articles about the relationship between psychological and constitutional issues involving families and children. She's working with St. Lawrence economics professor Steve Horwitz to explore research on economics and psychology. Crosby-Currie has also worked with the St. Lawrence Wellness Initiative to promote healthy life choices by St. Lawrence students. Crosby-Currie says, “A friend once referred to college as a time when your mind explodes.” She also says her experiences as a student made her realize she wanted to work in a similar environment. She comments, “I have grown more and more sure of that decision as I have grown more and more fond of my students and my colleagues at St. Lawrence.” “ My free time these days is mostly devoted to being with my family – my two-year-old son, Quinn, and my husband, Grant,” Crosby-Currie explains. She is also a member of the University Chorus and says her other hobbies include sewing, knitting and gardening. When asked why she has remained at St. Lawrence, Crosby-Currie responds, “ Canton may be isolated and SLU small, but I am much happier being part of a community where, to paraphrase ‘Cheers' (the ‘Friends' of my generation of college students), ‘everybody knows my name…'”
