Psychology undergraduate students Sherryse Mayo, Karin Olson and Brianne Brink have won a Regional Research Award from Psi Chi- the National Honor Society in Psychology- for their submission to the Midwest Psychological Association meeting to be held May 3-5 in Chicago. Their research project, “The development of depth perception from motion parallax in infancy” was one of more than 280 that were reviewed by a panel of three reviewers; only 20 received awards. The students will present their research at the conference during a regular poster session and a special awards session, where they will also receive a certificate and a $300 cash prize. Additional student researchers on this project not traveling to Chicago include Vida Murphy and Shauna Smykowski. The Child Development Lab is under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Nawrot.
Dr. Christine Malone was awarded an Excellence in Teaching Award and Dr. Gary Nickell was award an Excellence in Research Award by the Academic Affairs Council on September 26, 2006.
