Members of the Penn State Altoona Integrated Social Science Research Lab (ISSRL) were successful once again at the annual Penn State Behrend-Sigma Xi Undergraduate Student Research and Creative Accomplishment Conference held in Erie on Saturday, April 25. The competition is open to Penn State students and undergraduates from other colleges and universities in the Erie region.
The ISSRL swept both the humanities-social sciences and psychology poster presentation categories for the second year in a row.
Lilliana DeMarco and Madison Adamiak, both third-year criminal justice students, along with Dawson Coventry, a third-year international politics major at University Park, presented the psychology session's award-winning poster, titled, "Do Words Matter? Understanding the Impact of Language Used in the Substance Use Treatment Community on Those with Lived and Vicarious Experience."
