The Mapping Personal Finance Education project will involve data collection of school-level financial education course offering standards in US high schools for the 2025-2026 academic year. The data collection effort is intended to encourage further research documenting the implementation and effects of personal finance education. Financial education course offering standards will be collected from online course catalogs and matched to publicly available data on school characteristics. The project outcomes include constructing a dataset for the use of researchers, developing documentation explaining how to use the data and detailing the specifics of the dataset, and producing a summary of results of the data collection for dissemination, in...

Student Research Assistants – Continuing Education Programs Overview: The School of Social Work is seeking motivated students to participate in a research-focused project supporting the Continuing Education (CE) Programs. Students will assist with multiple aspects of CE program development, delivery, and outreach while gaining hands-on experience in applied social work research, digital media, event planning, and instructional design. This project offers the opportunity to earn research credit under the supervision of Christa McCrorie, Continuing Education Coordinator. Project Goals: Support the growth, engagement, and evaluation of CE Programs. Apply research methods to understand audience engagement and program effectivene...

Research assistant position will involve data collection in The Exercise Physiology Laboratory located in Wade Hall. Study measures will include heart rate, blood pressure, baroreflex sensitivity, vascular imaging (ultrasound), blood lipids, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and circadian rhythm monitoring. Research assistant will also be responsible for helping with the preparation and cleaning protocols before, during, and after each study visit. Research assistants in any major will be considered, however those interested in pursuing a career or post-graduate studies in a health-related field will likely get the most out of this experience. Prior laboratory experience is desirable but not required. Students will be encouraged to deve...

Project Description: Rare earth elements (REEs) are a crucial component for most modern technologies including consumer electronics, medical equipment, defense systems, and green energies such as battery, fuel cell, and electric vehicles. Contrary to the name “rare earth”, REEs are indeed present in the earth crust at a moderate concentration, and some of them even have a concentration comparable to the commonly used copper. The real challenge in obtaining rare earth metals is the separation between the elements because they present very similar physio-chemical properties and are always bundled together in nature. This challenge persists as well when the recycling of REEs is concerned. The current processes used in REE separation are ne...

Join a fast-paced, research-active neuroscience lab investigating how the human brain supports communication during language learning. Using cutting-edge EEG hyperscanning, we study brain activity while participants (including kids) have structured conversations. This work bridges neuroscience, linguistics, and clinical research—and produces results that have taken past students to publications, conference presentations, and competitive fellowships. You will be directly involved in human neuroscience data collection, working with children and trained speech-language pathology researchers. You’ll learn: - Good Laboratory Practices for neuroscience research - Ethics and safety in working with human participants - EEG setup, calibratio...
