Current Students

Our talented graduate student body is a thriving group of individuals who represent the finest aspiring scholars.

The graduate students are not just students, but active researchers, and are invited to work in the labs of psychologists in the program.

We look to our students to bring the highest caliber of cognitive skills which can foster the program's mission of training the world's finest psychologists to serve in a variety of settings.

Here are some of the ways in which our graduate students have contributed to our program in recent years:

  • George Martin, a third year student, currently serves as the graduate student representative to Division 5 of the APA: Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics.
  • Jeanna Chin, now on internship, was recently awarded the Dissertation Award in Neuropsychology for her dissertation entitled "Risk factors and barriers in the neuropsychological assessment of suicidality among adolescents with learning disabilities."
  • Kenneth Holmes, a second year student, recently won the American Psychological Foundation's Todd E. Huston Memorial Award.

We are extremely proud of the students in our program!
