Twenty-nine exemplary psychology students from Eastern Connecticut State University presented their research on Dec. 11 at the department's annual Psychological Science Night.

Among the students was Brett Gelino '16, who majors in Psychology. Mentored by Psychology Professor Carlos Escoto, Gelino's poster presentation was titled "Mine and Yours: Correlating Exposure to Sexually Explicit Materials and Sexual Well-Being."

"Research takes classroom experience and applies it to tangible, practical work," said Psychology Professor Carlos Escoto, faculty mentor to many student researchers. "The presentation of the research is also important," he added, speaking to the communication and organization skills needed for an effective presentation.
