Recent research undertaken by Ph.D. student Rachel Martin, Dr. Andrew Butler, and Dr. Rowhea Elmesky in WashU’s Department of Education explores the connection between students’ perceptions of instructor care and their help-seeking behavior. They surveyed undergraduate students across campus in the spring semester of 2021 and asked: “How do you know when an instructor cares about you?”

Congratulations to Dr. Cristina Zepeda! Cristina has received a Psychonomic Society and Women in Cognitive Science Networking Award for Junior Scientists.

Congratulations to Education doctoral student Rachel Martin! She was awarded a $1,000 Research Development Grant from the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).

Since 2014, University City High School has reduced suspensions by more than 40% and dramatically changed its school culture. Rowhea Elmesky, associate professor of education, and Olivia Marcucci, PhD ’19, helped make it happen.

At the start of the school year, about a quarter of high school students screened by Dr. Chris Rozek, assistant professor in the Department of Education at Washington University, showed signs of major depression. That’s double the historical average — 11% — and as the pandemic lasted into the winter, rates are increasing again, he said.

Congratulations to Janet Frederick for receiving the Beatrice and David Kornblum Endowed Scholarship for the Fall 2020 semester! The purpose of the Kornblum Scholarship is to support graduate students who show exceptional promise in their area of study.
