King's-Community Research Engagement: Psychology for the Common Good
Discover the profound impact of student research undertaken at King's University College. Under the guidance of Dr. Marcie Penner, students enrolled in the course, 'Psychology for the Common Good,' have dedicated themselves to crafting research-based solutions for the pressing challenges our local community faces. The culmination of the event will be the awarding of the prestigious Agnes Penner Prize.
From crafting educational programs on healthy relationship behaviors to addressing mental health concerns among those experiencing food insecurity, our students have demonstrated a commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
During this event, student teams will present their innovative solutions to a panel of community members. Following the presentations, there will be an engaging Q&A session where attendees can delve deeper into the projects and learn about the different methodologies employed.
The culmination of the event will be the awarding of the prestigious Agnes Penner Prize. This award, bestowed by the community panel, recognizes the project with the greatest potential to benefit society. Join us as we celebrate the dedication and ingenuity of our students in tackling pressing community issues and fostering positive change.
