Psychology Undergraduates Selected for CLA Research Fellowships
Two Auburn University psychology undergraduate students were awarded research fellowships from the College of Liberal Arts for the Fall 2009 semester.
The OURCLA fellowship program awards students $1500 to undertake a semester-long research project under the supervision of a faculty mentor. OURCLA students are also eligible to apply for up to $1000 to support student travel to present the results of their research at a national conference.
Brittani Berbette, a senior psychology major from Arab, Alabama, was awarded the fellowship for her research project on eating and alcohol-related problems. Brittani is a member of Dr. Chis Correia's lab and will work in close collaboration with him throughout the fellowship.
Laura Coursen, a senior psychology major from Austin, Texas, was also awarded an OURCLA fellowship for her proposed research project focusing on the moral decision-making process. Laura will work under the supervision of Dr. Ana Franco-Watkins for the 2009-2010 academic year.
The AU Department of Psychology offers numerous opportunities for undergraduate research in a variety of research settings. Undergraduate research is a recommended activity for any psychology major considering graduate study and interested undergraduates are encouraged to ask professors about potential research assistant openings in their labs. The Auburn University Psi Chi chapter will advertise research assistant openings during an upcoming meeting this fall.
To apply for an OURCLA fellowship, each student and mentor pair complete an online application. Applications are reviewed by the College of Liberal Arts Scholarship Committee and are due November 1, 2009, for the Spring 2010 semester; and March 1 for Summer 2010 projects.
Congratulations to Brittani and Laura for their recent awards!
