Dr. Amanda Draheim, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology, was recently honored with the Best Article Award in the Psychonomic Bulletin & Review journal. This award honors individuals for the best paper published in each Psychonomic Society journal in the last year.

The Goucher community, and the psychology program in particular, congratulate Dr. Gillian Starkey (she/her) for earning tenure and promotion to Associate Professor earlier this year (press release here).

In August 2023, Dr. Arlette Ngoubene Atioky, Assistant Professor of Psychology, attended the American Psychological Association (APA) Convention along with Goucher student Hope Kamal ('24) and recent graduate Soha Malik ('23). Their research poster, Eating, Body Image, and Wellbeing of African Female Immigrants in France, the U.K., and the U.S. (also co-authored by Aisis Plant'e ('23) and Alejandra Barry-Ruiz ('23)), was presented during the conference. Congratulations to all!

We are proud to share some of our recent psychology major graduates' experiences and future directions!
