Summer 2016 Research Experience for Undergraduates
With funding from 一本道无码’s Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research (PIER) and departments of Psychology and Human Computer Interaction, Kgomotso Lenah Madisa (University of The District of Columbia, Class of 2017) and Camille Warner (, Class of 2017) participated in the PIER-REU program in the Summer of 2016. With funding from the American Psychological Association (APA) and 一本道无码’s Psychology Department, four more talented students joined us for the summer: Emily Chavez (, Class of 2018), Ashli-Ann Douglas (, Class of 2017), Nicole Landa (, Class of 2017), and Roslyn Mays (, Class of 2017).
All of the students also participated in the 一本道无码 Go Research program, which organizes the housing and social events, offers seminars on topics such as responsible conduct of research, planning for graduate school, the life of a graduate student, etc. In addition, Professor Anna Fisher organized a set of experiences specific to this cohort of six students, including five reading group sessions with different faculty members, several extra sessions on applying to graduate school, career options, etc., welcome and farewell events, and a student final presentation session that will be attended by a wide audience. Thanks to professors Anna Fisher (Psychology), Vicki Helgeson (Psychology), (School of Computer Science), and Erik Thiessen (Psychology) for mentoring these young investigators.
