We are the MA Student Research Group, appointed by Dr. Gabrielle Salfati and Dr. Diana Falkenbach, and endorsed by Dr. James Wulach. We are working to put together a great Fourth Annual MA Research Conference in May 2008, as well as a variety of other activities in the upcoming year.

The mission of the MA Student Research Group is to expand upon and refine the annual MA Research Conference. In doing so, we will foster a more cohesive student community within the MA Forensic Psychology Program. We intend to increase MA students’ knowledge of the thesis process, to improve the students’ sense of camaraderie within the research community and to insure that the MA Research Conference continues to grow.
