Pamela Hunt, professor of psychology and associate director of interdisciplinary neuroscience, is one of three recipients of the 2011-2012 James McKeen Cattell Fund Fellowships.

Professor Vishton recently began a two-year term as Program Director for Developmental and Learning Sciences at the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Our undergraduates presented their research on incarcerated mothers and their children, the effect of nicotine on memory, problem behaviors in at-risk adolescents, and impulsive decisions.

The Cattell Fellowship will allow Professor Hunt to extend her leave-time this fall from one to two semesters to do some exciting research.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Joanna Schug to the Psychology Department this fall. Dr. Schug graduated from Hokkaido University in Japan and is a cross-cultural psychologist.

For today’s psychology students, a variety of new hands-on courses enrich the academic experience.
