Department of Educational Psychology (Ed Psych) faculty Sherri Turner (left) and Carolyn Berger, along with their colleagues, recently presented their research at the American Psychological Association (APA) annual convention in Washington, D.C. Their work represents ongoing exploration of the impact of COVID-19 and subsequent emergence from the pandemic on college students’ academic, career, and social-emotional development. This fall, they will be joined by colleagues Seth Christman and Katie Niznik.

Turner, Berger, and Christman are faculty in the counselor education program in Ed Psych. Niznik is a recent graduate from the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development who currently works as a career coach in CEHD. Presentation titles were “The educational/career development of college students emerging from the pandemic: A cohort study” (Turner, Berger et al., 2023) and “Impacts of Asian hatred and COVID-19 on the educational/career development of AAPI college students” (Sim, Turner, Berger et al., 2023).
