Three Penn State Brandywine faculty members have received Individual Faculty Grants from the University's Institute for the Arts and Humanities (IAH), which helps to fund the research and creative projects of individual faculty members in and across the arts and humanities at Penn State.
Under the guidance of Assistant Professor of Psychology Daniela Martin, two Penn State Brandywine students traveled to the Big Apple for an experience unlike any they could find in a classroom.
On March 6, Martin escorted senior Ryan Smith and junior Sauda Anima, who transferred to University Park this semester, to the Eastern Psychological Association Convention in Brooklyn, N.Y. to present research to their peers and professionals in the discipline of psychology.
Penn State Brandywine sophomore Sara Neville was selected as one of 60 undergraduates from across the nation and across all disciplines to present her research to senators, representatives, their staffers and representatives from funding agencies as part of the Council on Undergraduate Research's annual Posters on the Hill event on April 13 in Washington, D.C.
