How a Psych 101 class all became quilters
For psychology faculty member Jason Whetten, teaching and research go hand in hand: The classroom is his laboratory, and the students are his subjects and co-investigators. In his Fall 2023 Introduction to Psychology course, Whetten researched the concept of belonging by asking 1,200 students to design a quilt square describing how they belong at NAU. Throughout Spring 2024, Whetten and his TAs discovered that interactive, hands-on projects like these can help boost students’ sense of inclusion and belonging on campus.
