Graduate program alumnae and faculty members, Justine Vosloo, Associate Professor & Sebastian Harenberg, Assistant Professor from the Department of Exercise Science and Athletic Training presented research at the 2019 Association for Applied Sport Psychology Conference in Portland, Oregon.

 

Professors Harenberg and Vosloo, presented their work with colleague Miranda Kaye (Penn State University) and alumna Shelby Anderson ‘18 (PhD student in Sport Psychology at University of North Carolina, Greensboro) – “Perceptions of Leadership Behaviors in Coaches: Validity of the Leadership Scale for Sports Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling”

Justin Worley ’19, who is currently a first year doctoral student at Michigan State University studying Sport Psychology, presented his research on “Competing for Playing Time: The Relationship Between Positional competition and Social Identity in Collegiate Athletes” with Professors Harenberg & Vosloo

 Zachary McCarver ’18 won the Master’s Thesis Award at the 2019 Association for Applied Sport Psychology conference, for his thesis titled: "Exploring Domain-Specific Perfectionism: Do Excelling Student-Athletes Differ in Perfectionism compared to their Teammates?"

Zachary completed his thesis under the guidance of ESS faculty members: Sebastian Harenberg, Assistant Professor and chair of the thesis committee; and Justine Vosloo, Associate Professor.

 

Zachary is the first graduate of the ESS graduate program to win the Thesis Award at the AASP conference. He is currently a second year doctoral student at the University of Northern Colorado, where he is continuing his Sport Psychology studies.

The research of biology students Rebecca Falconer (’19) and Chris Gallego Lazo (’19), undergraduate researchers in Dr. Andy Smith’s lab,  was highlighted in articles in Science Daily and EurekAlert! The articles summarized their work, which characterizes the structure and mechanics of a remarkable natural glue. This glue is produced as a defensive secretion by one species of terrestrial slug. Their work attempts to understand how the glue gains its remarkable sticking power and toughness. This information can be used to guide the development of novel medical adhesives and could lead to suture alternatives that are flexible and strong.   Rebecca and Chris were quoted extensively in the articles.

Reid Garner, Biochemistry B.S. German area studies minor (2018)

“My hope is to complete medical school as a member of the United States Air Force. I have not decided yet whether I want to pursue an MD or an MD-PhD. Through volunteering at both Cayuga Medical Center and at Upstate Medical Center, I have gained more of an interest in Emergency Medicine. I am most interested in Orthopedics and Cardiothoracics.”

Colette Piasecki-Masters, Biology, Honors Program (2018)

“My passion for medicine was ignited when I began my biology curriculum and joined Professor Susan Witherup’s research lab.
