Research Opportunity
You are invited to consider joining an interesting research project analyzing mother-
child conversations about their disagreements (for example, about getting their
homework done, cleaning their rooms, fighting with siblings). The children are
5th graders, so 10 or 11 years old.
This semester, the professors involved in the research (Drs. Carlo, Ispa, and Horstman)
are looking for students who are detail-oriented and enjoy thinking about parent-child
interaction. The work will involve watching videotapes of mother-child conversations
and transcribing (typing word-for-word) what they say. The families who participated
in the research are African American, European American, and Latino, and we plan to
match transcribers with families of the same ethnicity. All work will be done in Gentry
Hall. About twice a month, we will schedule a meeting to give everyone an
opportunity to discuss their observations and practice some coding.
This rich learning opportunity is available as a volunteer research experience (which
looks great for a resume!), for academic credit, or for pay through the Work Study
program and additional options. Please email Dr. Haley Horstman
at [email protected] if you are interested!

This individual acts as the middle ground between the marketing and public relations team, often doing work that is applicable to both fields. As you might assume, individuals in this position must be adept communicators. In addition to writing for the media, Brand Managers must form good relationships with many people including journalists, company executives, and the average Joe. To recap, if you have extraordinary communication skills, aren't afraid of working close with the "higher ups", and have a desire to
control a organization's publicity, then this is the job for you!
