Happy Earth Day from the Institute for Child Development & Family Relations!

Remember: Caring for the earth, means nurturing our children's future 🌱

Our very own Dr. Mark D. Agars, Director of the Institute for Child Development and Family Relations, recently took the stage as Mr. Mushnik in a local production of Little Shop of Horrors! 🌱🎶

At ICDFR, we believe in nurturing the whole person- that means making time for the things that bring us joy. Whether it’s research, relationships, or a role in a musical, passion is powerful!

Let Dr. Agars’ example be a reminder: Do what you love, and don’t be afraid to shine. ✨

Another proud moment! 🌟 Congratulations to Valdrex Philippe for winning best undergraduate poster presentation for the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences!

We’re proud to see students involved in our institute recognized and celebrated 🎉

Congratulations to Camille Rhyne, Sasha Tesoro, Jasmin Escalante, and Jocelyn Romero in our BeFAST project for winning Meeting of the Minds' best poster from the College of Education!

Their work represents the vital role students play in driving the innovative research at our institute. It’s their curiosity, dedication, and hard work that power our projects forward. 💪📘
