We are pleased to announce that the Graduate Diversity Committee has selected the winners of the 2021-22 DivComm Undergraduate Travel Award. We would like to congratulate Elodie Carel and Yana Deeley on receiving the award! They will receive $200 each towards presenting their research at psychology conferences.

Elodie Carel is a senior and double major in Psychology and Disability Studies. Working with Dr. Ashley Woodman, she presented her work at the Diversifying Clinical Psychology Networking Event for Undergraduates. The study presented, The Effect of a Disability Etiquette Training on Explicit and Implicit Disability Bias, sought to determine whether an ableism and disability identity focused training can change explicit and implicit attitudes in faculty, staff, and graduate students. She is currently working on an honor's thesis under the supervision of Dr. Allecia Reid. 

Yana Deeley is a senior Psychology Major working with Dr. Maria Galano. She will be presenting at APS 2022 in Chicago. She plans to present her honors thesis, Community Perceptions of Domestic Violence, the goal of which is to get a better understanding of the perspective, knowledge, or experience of responding to domestic violence disclosure among the general community.
