The School Psychology Program is typically comprised of four core tenure-track program faculty. We anticipate searching for a new hire in the 2012 academic year, but all position must be approved by the Provost. Current program faculty include: Dr. Scott Ardoin, Dr. Michele Lease, and Dr. Amy Reschly. School Psychology Program applicants may also identify research interests with one of the program’s affiliated faculty (Dr. Kevin Ayers, Dr. Jennifer Lindstrom, Dr. Stacey Neuharth-Pritchett).
