Get involved
Our lab is composed of many talented students. Although much of our research is directed by graduate students pursuing their doctoral degrees, some projects are conducted by undergraduates and some of their senior thesis projects have been published in the best journals in psychology! We invite everyone to consider joining our lab! Undergraduates interested in joining the PASS Lab should contact Prof. McConnell for more details.
