Spring 2014 Newsletter
Dear Alumni:
Leo Tolstoy wrote that spring is the time of plans and projects. This spring, faculty and students of the Psychology Department at the College of William and Mary are busily completing research projects and honors theses and making plans for summer and beyond.
On February 28, twenty-two psychology students presented the findings of their research projects at the 20th Annual Undergraduate Science Research Symposium. You can learn more about their research projects and presentations here:

Professor Cheryl Dickter was honored at Charter Day (2/7/14) with the very prestigious Thomas Jefferson Teaching Award that was presented at Charter Day activities. Professor Dickter joined the psychology faculty in 2008 and since that time has established herself as an outstanding teacher and researcher. Congratulations, Cheryl!
