Really interesting research by one of my awesome lab mates Sam Daruwala, PhD. I like that this study not only looked at if participants knew someone who died by suicide but included how close they were with the individual.

So honored to present this year at Mortar Board #MBNC20 - just a few weeks to go!

Not to be missed! Check out Katie Chick at #MBNC20!

Leadership skills are not only important for people in traditional leadership roles, but for everyone looking to enhance their career. Want to improve your skills? Sign up for #MBNC20! Mortarboard.org/Conference/202…
