The PF is happy to be the first media outlet to bring you this important breaking news story. Dr. Chris Smith will be the newest faculty member in the HUD & PSYCH departments this Fall. She is a fantastic teacher and a highly accomplished scholar, and we are simply thrilled that she will be joining us! In our exclusive interview with Dr. Smith, she shared the following message for students:

“I’m very excited to be joining the faculty of UWGB.  I am a Social Psychologist with a strong background and interest in Statistics and Research Methods. I also have a Doctoral Certificate in Women’s Studies.  I will be teaching a number of courses including Introduction to Psychology, Experimental Psychology, and Psychology of Women.  I also have a number of research interests and active research projects.  For several years I have been using personal ads to examine partner preferences.  I am also interested in the stigma associated with being fat, and I currently have a research project examining the relationship between empathy and self-esteem.  All my research includes students as active members of the research team, so I’m looking forward to new students and new research ideas.”
