2015 Dec 15

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 Stephanie Madden '16, who majors in Psychology and Theatre. Mentored by Psychology Professor Madeleine Fugere, Madden's poster presentation was titled "Impact of Stereotype Threat on Mathematic Performance in Women."

"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.
