Our department is renowned for the diverse interests of its faculty, including social relationships, mental disorders, child development, education, the relationship between humans and animals, criminality, and unlocking the mysteries of the human brain.

Members of our department are committed to sharing their knowledge with the wider community. We do this by welcoming tour groups, offering science education programs for high school students, and participating in special programs for organizations like Head Start, Boys and Girls Club, Girl Scouts, Monroe County Community School Corporation, WonderLab Museum of Science, Health, and Technology, and Middle Way House.
