Larry Stevens

Larry Stevens ('76 M.S., ’83 Ph.D.), Flagstaff, Ariz. :: has been a professor of psychology in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Northern Arizona University for 30 years. His study on the effects of chocolate on the brain and body was published on NeuroRegulation and sponsored by Hershey.

He says he owes his career, in part, to the many excellent professors in the psychology department at UNT.
