Stephanie Babb earned her Ph.D. in Psychology, with an emphasis in Neuroscience and Behavior, from the University of Georgia in 2006. After completing a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, she accepted an Assistant Professor of Psychology position at the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) in 2007. As an Associate Professor, her research interests have shifted from memory and animal behavior to adult education. UHD is a large, urban, non-residential university. It is also a Minority- and Hispanic-serving institution, with approximately 15,000 students, who are primarily undergraduates. The UHD student population presents a unique opportunity to study learning and achievement in nontraditional and minority undergraduate learners. Dr. Babb has presented and published original research in areas such as distance learning, best strategies in hybrid education, academic entitlement and locus of control in nontraditional undergraduates, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on students, and resilience in nontraditional undergraduates.
