In Fall 2023, 12 Ithaca College students embarked on a team research project under Leigh Ann Vaughn, professor in the Department of Psychology. The international project, in which students played a small part, researched preferences when it comes to romantic partners, crushes or people an individual might be interested in. They also investigated differences between what people want in a partner versus what they say they want.

Leigh Ann Vaughn, professor in the Department of Psychology, and her student research team published an article on their study of well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.
