So instead of a lab newsletter, my students & I decided to make a magazine. I hope you enjoy learning more about our work & reading the op Ed’s they wrote 💕! HOMEBODIES MAGAZINE issuu.com/homeplacelab/d… via Issuu

We are SO excited for this session— both due to its content & focus and also because work by many lab members & affiliates will be featured! Danielle Berry Alison Koenka Kan Gill Korinthia (Kori) Nicolai C Andrews Maria Idrees Ben Heddy and Eric Abraham

🚨 Fascinating new randomized intervention study showing the power of growth-oriented communication from college professors for student outcomes! Excellent study design and interesting findings!

This session will be 🔥! Exciting to see such a great group of scholars represented, including many MM lab members & affiliates!

Finally met Dr. Alison Koenka (my soon-to-be PhD co-advisor) in-person at AERA in Philadelphia! Hearing her opening speech at the Business Meeting of AERA Motivation SIG as the Program Chair was beyond inspiring! I am the luckiest to be joining her Motivational Messaging Lab in Fall 2024

Taylor Cummings and colleagues shared their work to create a community of belonging in their doctoral program (including co-creating the syllabus!). 🔥🔥🔥AERA Teaching Educational Psychology SIG #128

Congratulations to our wonderful AERA Teaching Educational Psychology SIG #128 Graduate Student Travel Award winners! We love hearing about the great work you are all doing, and so glad our SIG can support you. 😍

So, I have finally made my decision to go to Motivational Messaging Lab to join Alison Koenka Danielle Berry and Maisha Farzana, M.A. in the fall. Words are not enough to express my excitement and appreciation for the opportunity. I’m also grateful for all the support I’ve received! Thank you all!

We agree — so inspiring! 🤩Great work, Danielle Berry!

Our work would not exist without PVEST!
