The first-year IOHRM student Matthew Cartabuke was awarded two research grants from the Appalachian State University Office of Student Research. Matt is working with the Dr. Westerman and is conducting research on empathy as an antecedent of social justice behavior. The first grant he received was award for his project which is creating a healthy, just, and sustainable society through research. This research grant is awarded to candidates who demonstrate interest in enhancing human well-being through the use of economic, natural, and human resources. Matt’s research met and surpassed these requirements, and he was awarded the maximum grant amount. Matt was also awarded a grant from the Office of Student Research for travel expenses that will allow him to present his research at the Appalachian Research in Business Symposium in Johnson City, Tennessee on March 21st.
Fellow first-year student, Danielle Kretschmer, will be presenting her research at the 40th annual convention for the Association of Behavior Analysis International. This event will take place May 23-27 in Chicago, Illinois. Danielle has worked with Dr. Ludwig on what was to be a pilot for her thesis titled From Feedback to Fluency. The research aim was to provide a company with a behaviorally rooted plan to reduce accidents on the road, prevent loss for the company, and keep drivers safe.
