Toe Aung Spends Winter Interim 2016 Conducting ACRE Project

2016 Jan 14

Toe Aung, a junior psychobiology/evolution & animal behavior track/evolutionary studies major from Yangon, Myanmar, is spending winter Interim 2016 tackling an Albright Creative Research Experience (ACRE) project.

Aung's project is titled "Does the Belief in Determinism Influence the Propensity for Forgiveness."

ACRE is a multi-disciplinary program that affords students the opportunity to conduct research or pursue creative endeavors during winter Interim or summer break. Students work one-on-one with faculty advisors and receive a stipend and free room and board during the sessions.

Aung is one of 16 Albright students conducting ACREs this Interim.

Participants meet to share their experiences with each other, and ACRE students often go on to present their findings at regional or national conferences or use it as a springboard for further study.
