Kasey Campos Among Students Presenting at Eastern Psychological Association Confererence

2018 Mar 6

Kasey Campos was among the students continuing the strong tradition of student research at Saint Rose, as a dozen students presented projects at the Eastern Psychological Association meeting in Philadelphia in March.

The Department of Psychology had 12 students presenting the results of nine research projects. In addition, one of the student research presentations - "The Influence of Legal Knowledge on Retaliation" - was selected for a Psi Chi International Honor Society Research Award. The five students behind that presentation were recognized at a special awards banquet at the meeting and will receive a $400 research award. The awards are highly competitive with both undergraduate and graduate students vying for the same recognition.

Saint Rose has won 28 awards from the Eastern Psychological Association for projects since 2004.
