The Jacqueline M. Anson Research Lab

Located on the fourth floor of T. Berry Smith Hall is the social sciences research lab where students can and are encouraged to conduct research. The research lab was proposed by former faculty members Dr. Elizabeth Gold and Dr. Jacqueline Anson, both of whom were passionate about creating a space to give students the opportunity to explore their capabilities. The research lab was established in Dr. Anson's name in fall 2022, following her death in November of 2020.
