One of the alum from the Gerontology Program within Family and Consumer Sciences is doing big things!

Research @ The Beach is featuring two of our faculty: Dr. Roudi Nazarinia Roy and Dr. Tiffany L. Brown. Congratulations on your new research. "In working directly with fathers of color, Dr. Roy and Dr. Brown have discovered that many of these fathers experience a lack of social support and report limited access to the resources needed to build positive fatherhood trajectories. Their research also identified critical components of successful fatherhood education programs and the need to focus on supporting men with relationship building skills to assist them in successfully navigating their co-parent relationship, as well as, provide them with tools to access support from family and community resources."
