RYRG Lab Testimonials:
"This was my first experience in a clinical lab, and it really inspired me to pursue graduate studies in clinical psychology." Chloe Hudson
"Working with other students in the lab as well as our lab meetings are my most positive memories. The team was made of hard working, friendly, and ambitious students when I was there and I'm certain that is how it is now." Ashley Marsh
"My experiences as a member of the Resilient Youth Research Group are fully responsible for everything that I have achieved both as an undergraduate student, and independent research employee. Dr. Lumley and her graduate students supported my academic development in more ways than I can possibly communicate in this limited response. As a supervisor Dr. Lumley gave me the freedom to compose a thesis that was truly my own. She guided me in every sense of the word, and in doing so instilled the confidence that I needed to move forward in the field of clinical psychology." Gregory Grogan
"I think one of the best things about working in the RYRG lab was the inclusive environment. Everyone in the lab was very supportive of each other and each persons respective goals in academia and/or clinical practice. Dr. Margaret Lumley was a very supportive and caring supervisor. Due to the labs high level of coherency, several tasks were ongoing at one time, oftentimes with collaboration with other research labs at the University of Guelph. Overall, a great experience to hone skills related to research and clinical work." Ray McKie
"I benefited immensely from my time in the RYRG. I met wonderful peers who share similar research interests and felt supported by senior lab members who provided me with advice about graduate studies. Most importantly I discovered my passion for research. My time in the RYRG exposed me to all aspects of conducting research, including disseminating my findings through conference presentations and a publication in a psychological journal. This was an invaluable learning experience and served as the foundation for developing my skills as a researcher." Molly McCarthy
"As a part of the Resilient Youth Research Group I have always experienced a strong sense of group cohesion and support. Though I was continually motivated to work on individual projects, Dr. Lumley and the RYRG team strived to make every member an important piece of the whole; for this, I believe that I have gained invaluable experience and knowledge with which to pursue graduate studies and, most of all, maintain productive and enjoyable research dynamics for time to come. Wherever my path might lead, it is with this lab that I have continued to expand in terms of research interests and abilities by being provided new and exciting responsibilities. All the best to current and future researchers who have the chance to be a part of the Resilient Youth Research Group." Paul Grunberg
"It was motivating and inspiring to work alongside the like-minded, enthusiastic members of the lab and to share common interests. Margaret was a very knowledgeable and understanding group leader and confidant. I learned a lot about the basics of psychological research and enjoyed a very rewarding, educational and satisfying experience in the group. The group potlucks and dinners out were also great bonding experiences!" Amy Clarke
