The Dave Burrows Award for Senior Experience in Psychology

Established in 2019 to honor the insightful leadership of retiring Provost, Professor of Psychology, and Director of Inclusive Pedagogy Dr. David Burrows, The Dave Burrows Award for Senior Experience in Psychology recognizes students whose senior capstone projects demonstrate scholarly acumen and the creative application of research to significant psychological questions. Savannah is a psychology major who is dedicated to suicide prevention. She conducts research in the Child and Adolescent Research in Emotion Lab at Lawrence and works on a community crisis team. Her senior project involved testing an objective, computerized task within a community sample of adolescents to examine whether it can aid in identifying those at risk for suicide. Savannah plans to continue with a research career in this area and will apply to graduate school for clinical psychology.
