We’re rounding out our Academic Community Connections Series by highlighting Psych 0225!💡This child development course pairs students with community partners to complete need-based projects that involve working with or advocating for children.

Gina Thomas, Associate Professor of Psychology, has spent years developing the course and champions a community-based learning framework that helps students deepen their understanding of course theories while gaining real-world experience. “I find that students often realize that they underestimate children,” says Prof Thomas. “I think it gives them a greater respect for all the things kids are having to process on a daily basis, and how complex their learning is.”🧠 Link to the full story in our bio!

Meet the Conflict Analysis Peer Facilitators - a cohort of CCE-supported students trained in conflict management, facilitation, leadership, and group dynamics. 🌱

After completing an intensive month-long training in April, facilitators are now supporting CCE summer programs and leading Conflict Styles workshops for students across campus. In this workshop, participants explored different conflict styles, reflected on their own approaches to conflict, and discussed how culture, communication, and relationships shape the way we navigate tension and collaboration.
Huge shoutout to the facilitators for creating thoughtful conversations and engaging activities throughout the workshop! 🌟

Check out our bio to link to the full article and video on our website to hear reflections from Miranda, Lexi, and Veronika and see more snippets from the workshop.
