In Seattle, WA, Human Development & Family Studies (HDFS) students Emma Powers x'25 (@emmapowers._) and Genna Garrigan x'25 (@gennagarrigan) recently presented their findings from working at the Riser Equitable Early Lifespan Lab (@uwreel.lab) alongside Quentin Riser (@q_rizzer)—assistant professor of HDFS and the Dean's Equitable Early Lifespan Faculty Fellow. The pair stood out, not only for their public speaking skills, but also because they were the only undergraduate students within a professor-led line up. The REEL Lab and other collaborative entities at the School of Human Ecology ensure students graduate career-ready. As seniors, Powers and Garrigan stressed just how crucial these skills are when gearing up to enter the workforce: “Working in the REEL Lab has been vital in preparing me for graduate school and my future,” Garrigan says.
