Greetings from the Industrial/Organizational Psychology Program
at Colorado State University
Spring 2024
Message from the Program Coordinator
Dr. Gwen Fisher
Hello from Fort Collins, Colorado!
We hope this newsletter finds you doing well!
Change has been in the air at CSU. Previously we introduced our three new I-O faculty. For those who haven’t heard, CSU recently welcomed a new President, Amy Parsons, and Provost, Dr. Marion Underwood. Our Dean, Dr. Jan Nerger, served as the Interim Provost and returned to the role of Dean, College of Natural Sciences, in January.
We are excited to connect with many of you at the 2024 Society for I-O Psychology
conference in Chicago later this month. Please read on for a list of presentations by CSU
faculty and students, and please join us on Thursday April 18 from 6-8pm at Mother
Hubbard’s Sports Pub, located at 5 W Hubbard St, Chicago, IL 60654! Appetizers will
be served and you are welcome to bring your significant other(s) and invite your friends
and colleagues! Many thanks to graduate students Brittany Lynner, Kinjal Chheda, and
Shelby Davis, for organizing this event on behalf of our program.
A few years ago we increased financial support for student research at CSU by supporting 2-4 projects per year with awards of up to $1500 per project named in honor of former CSU Professor and Department Chair Dr. Kurt Kraiger. This year three students received Kraiger Research Awards: Shelby Davis, Chloe Goldman, and Ryan Lizerbram (see p. 8 for the titles of their research projects). Previous recipients include Julia Beckel, Rachel Perpich, and Annika Benson.
All of our graduate students who will be attending SIOP and one of our undergraduate students in the honors program and I-O concentration, Olivia Detry, received funding to support their travel from the Jeanette N. Cleveland SIOP Travel Award. Additional program awards will be announced this spring.
Congratulations to Brittany Lynner, an outstanding 4th-year graduate student in industrial-organizational psychology and occupational health psychology trainee in the NIOSH Mountain & Plains Education and Research Center who has been awarded a $25,000 scholarship from PEO International, a philanthropic organization where women support the advancement of women.
Have you wondered how you can help our students? We have a few scholarships in our department that are awarded to support doctoral students in I-O psychology, and are in need of donations to sustain them. We hope you may consider making a donation to support these scholarships. Read on to learn how to contribute!
In this edition, we are pleased to share updates from two of our alumni, Drs. Emily Livorsi and Janet Peters. If you would like to let us know what you have been up to or would like to nominate a fellow CSU alumnus to be featured in a future newsletter edition, please drop me a line at gwen.fisher@colostate.edu.

Opportunity to Contribute to CSU I-O Graduate Scholarships!
Did you know that the Department of Psychology has two dedicated scholarships for I-O doctoral students? In your time at CSU, perhaps you benefited from the Charles & Martha Neidt Award (named for former CSU Academic Vice President Dr. Chuck Neidt, active in Human Factors research and methodology, and his wife Martha) or the I-O Graduate Fellowship (intended to support I-O students more generally). These scholarships have been an important source of supplemental funding for students for years, but the endowments are starting to run low, and we are currently able to award only token amounts to our deserving students. Can you help us replenish them?
To donate, start from https://advancing.colostate.edu/CNS/PSYCH/GIVE; before you indicate an amount, click the “Support Another Fund” link and then choose “Charles and Martha Neidt Graduate Award” or “Industrial/Organizational Psychology Graduate Fellowship” from the drop-down menu. Click on the amount you’d like to give in the second set of green boxes to ensure that it goes directly to the scholarship you choose. You can also contact any of the program faculty, we’re happy to help! We appreciate your generosity in paving the way for the next generation of CSU I-O psychologists!
