Director Profile

Corwin Senko
It's my great pleasure to serve as the current Director of the RSCA. Having collaborated for 2+ decades with students on my research team, I know how transformative the experience can be for them and how rewarding it can be for faculty. I am eager to help bring those opportunities to others on our campus.
Outside of the RSCA, I am a Professor in the Psychology Department. My research examines student motivation.
