SIUE URCA Program Celebrates SEHHB Faculty

James Panico, PhD, and Sara Conoyer, PhD

The Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) program encourages, supports and enables students to participate in research and creative activities at the undergraduate level.

The Spring 2019 Vaughn Vandegrift URCA Research Mentor of the Semester has been presented to James Panico, PhD, associate professor of speech language pathology and audiology, and Sarah Conoyer, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Psychology.

“Drs. Panico and Conoyer are exceptional mentors who are making a positive difference in students’ academic journey through research experiences. To be recognized within this fantastic pool as an award winner is incredibly noteworthy,” said Laura Pawlow, PhD, URCA coordinator and professor in the Department of Psychology.

Air Fryer vs. Instant Pot

Kathy Mora, PhD, RD, assistant professor of nutrition, and nutrition student Allison Lutz are researching the versatility and effectiveness of two popular pieces of cooking equipment: the air fryer and the Instant Pot.

They recently shared a glimpse into their research on Show Me St. Louis.

Education Career Fair Brings Record Number of Prospective Employers to Campus

Nearly 50 prospective employers from the bi-state area attended SIUE’s Education Career Fair in March. Employers were eager to meet with young educators ready to make a difference.

“I’ve always loved kids, and I know this is what I’m meant to do. It’s awesome to be on the job hunt, as it’s evidence that graduation is almost here and my dreams are coming true,” said early childhood education major Hannah Boehme, of Taylorville.
