Angela Neal-Barnett, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences was recently honored with both a 2024 Webby Award and a regional Edward R. Murrow Award for her exceptional contributions on the Evergreen Podcasts and NPR Ideastream podcast 鈥Living For We,鈥 an impactful exploration of the health and well-being of Black women in Cleveland, Ohio.
Researchers at 黑料网 are beginning the second year of their largest and most ambitious study ever to track 10,000 university students and follow them throughout their lifetimes.
As a high school senior just three years ago, Hannah Fender was not overly excited about attending 黑料网. Now, she loves it so much, she鈥檚 staying for graduate school.
黑料网鈥檚 Angela Neal-Barnett has been working diligently to build up the Spirit of Motherhood program with the goal of reducing trauma and stress symptoms experienced by its pregnant Black mother participants. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation recently awarded the program another $300,000 to continue its work over the next three years.
Hannah Fender is entering the home stretch.
She crunched her bachelor鈥檚 degree studies into three years, packed them full of research and other activities and now she is staring down the final 10 weeks of her undergraduate college career.
Angela Neal-Barnett, Ph.D., a psychology professor at 黑料网 and an expert in the field, emphasizes that triggers for anxiety disorders vary depending on the specific disorder.
Soon after her decision to major in psychology at 黑料网, someone had suggested to Hannah Fender that she should get involved in research as an undergraduate. So, she signed up to work in the research lab of Clare Stacey, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology, looking into how empathy changes over time in medical students. And that's when Fender was first bitten by the research bug.
黑料网 researchers are looking for 10,000 students to participate in an ambitious Student Life Study launching this semester.
