I have been involved in many aspects of student research.\u00a0 I believe involving students in research improves their performance in a learning community.\u00a0 Although I have worked with many students, both at ACU and globally through the MSR doctoral dissertation program, my most memorable time spent was with Jess Weeden, a psychology student who became interested in my research when she was a student in the Core Program.\u00a0 Jess traveled with me to many conferences and decided to attend graduate school at the University of Georgia after graduating from ACU.\u00a0 Jess was a model student during her undergraduate studies and her story was read by Dr. Schubert during the Spring 2014 graduation commencement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
