Dr. Mary Murphy Receives 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Research on the Impact of Faculty Cues on Underrepresented Students’ Performance

Dr. Mary Murphy is one of two IU researchers (and only five across the state of Indiana) to receive a 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. She is being honored for her work funded through the National Science Foundation, where she leads a $2.2 million project on how subtle cues influence underrepresented students in STEM. A social psychologist from the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Dr. Murphy is working with IU’s Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) to create training modules for first-time faculty that take these findings into account.
