Mentorship
Training Opportunities for Psychology Students
Dr. Cochran is committed to helping students grow academically and professionally through hands-on research experience. She focuses on training students in a collaborative lab environment that is run by students, under her mentorship. The primary goal is to help students build valuable skillsets that boost their resume and further the team's program of research.
Student assistants have the option to engage with projects at a variety of levels, as their experience and schedules permit. Most new students join at the beginner level and progress through intermediate- and advanced-level training activities in the following semesters. Typically, students who maintain ongoing involvement with the team for two or more semesters will get training in all three primary phases of project development: Research Design, Data Collection and Analysis, and Reporting.
Dr. Cochran invites new students to join the research team every semester and holds an interest meeting in September and February.​
