Research Assistant Accomplishments
Along with volunteering their time in the Child Maltreatment Lab, many previous RAs have been active in campus and community programs, working and volunteering at places such as CEDARS, Bryan LGH, The Friendship Home, Voices of Hope, Child Guidance, and the Lincoln Regional Center. Additionally, several RAs in our lab have obtained McNair and UCARE Awards, as well as being involved in the Senate for Psi Chi and the Undergraduate Psychology Organization (UPO). Through their numerous experiences with research and clinical work, several prior research assistants in the Child Maltreatment Lab have gone on to be successful in research positions, Clinical Psychology Ph.D and Master's level graduate school programs (see Previous Research Assistants).
