Kelly Davis, a third year student in the Psy.D. program, was the first place winner in Appalachian State University’s eleventh annual “3 Minute Thesis (3MT)” competition. For the competition, graduate students explain their research or scholarly/creative projects in jargon-free language to a general "lay" audience in three minutes with the help of only one static slide. Kelly will represent Appalachian State at the regional competition held at the annual Conference of Southern Graduate Schools in Tampa, Florida in March 2023. Congratulations, Kelly!


Emma Walker, a member of our inaugural cohort, was elected to serve as a student officer for ABCT's Dissemination and Implementation Special Interest group. We appreciate Emma's commitment to our program, to the field, and to the dissemination of evidence-based practice to rural communities!
