Current Research:
For my own thesis, I’m researching communication and organizational change. I’m also helping to finalize a thesis entitled “Drivers Of Upward Safety Communication” by Karen Marks.

What made you choose to (or want to) work in this particular lab?
To learn about and study the role of training in the workplace. I love the idea of helping people perform their jobs better by teaching and educating them.

What do you like about working in the lab?
Lisa is a great leader and collaborator, and the other students are very motivated and fun to be around.

What in particular about your experience in this lab do you think would be especially attractive to other students seeking a lab placement?
Learning how to effectively design training, how to create useful surveys, and to be involved in a very diverse experimental setting.

What are your future plans?
To earn my degree at SDSU, enter the workforce, and pay back my student loan!

If you have any questions you can contact me by e-mail at millsr5@msn.com

Current Research:
My thesis title is: "Evaluating the Relationship between the 5-Factor Model and Religious Orientation."

What made you choose to (or want to) work in this particular lab?
I wanted to join a lab that was researching something of interest to me in the area of I-O psychology. Through the courses I took in I-O, training was a particular interest of mine, so this lab seemed to be a great fit.

What do you like about working in the lab?
I love how organized yet flexible Dr. Kath is with the project she assigns. She allows you to figure things out on your own and is there to answer questions along the way.

What are your future plans?
I hope to be attending graduate school for I-O for fall ’08.
