MEET THE TEAM

Our people are at the core of what makes the Human-Animal Wellness Collaboratory (HAWC) such a unique and rewarding research lab. Our primary HAWC members are often unergraduate students who are active participants in the entire research process and can learn directly about a variety of career paths in psychology working with both humans and animals. We embrace the fact that our roles are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our affiliation organizations that make the work we do in HAWC possible. Find out more about our team members below
