Dr. Joseph Comeau, Associate Professor of Sociology, gave two presentations at professional conferences in one week. The first presentation was about creating Sociology YouTube content at the University System of Georgia Teaching and Learning Conference in Athens, Georgia. The second presentation was at the Southwestern Social Sciences Association conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. Comeau's presentation, titled “I try really hard to not believe in this stuff, however, I saw what I saw." Examining responses to self-reported haunt-type phenomena, was based upon interviews with people who have experienced ghost encounters. More than one attendee told Dr. Comeau that it was the most fun they've ever had in a conference session.
Our students did a terrific job at this year's Undergraduate Research Symposium. These research projects represent research efforts done during the spring semester. We are proud of your work!
The Psychology/Sociology Department has received a donation of books from Carlanda Dragoin, wife of the recently deceased former faculty member Bill Dragoin. Dr. Dragoin was an avid reader who had interests in art, evolution, learning, anthropology, and some fiction. These books will be given to interested faculty and students. We thank Carlanda for making this kind donation.
