2011 Apr 26

Livia Balaban, a junior at Oglethorpe University, presented her original research on "The relationship between public self-awareness and trait compliance" at the 2011 meeting of the Southeastern Psychological Association. All submissions to this conference represent high-caliber research, and Balaban was one of only a few undergraduate participants, as most of the featured researchers are professors and graduate-level students. Balaban is a resident of Dacula.

Oglethorpe is a member of the Annapolis Group, an organization of America's most selective liberal arts institutions.
