Stuart Rand

Stuart received his M.S. in Developmental Psychology from Illinois State University, focusing on the relationship between community resources and the impact of organizations on supporting and facilitating parent-child engagement. He is currently working towards his PhD at the University of Notre Dame. He has experience working within a therapeutic day school, working with children requiring high levels of support, and working alongside a children's museum to facilitate an outreach program to promote parental engagement in early childhood. This promoted the development of his interests in factors associated with the family context and community resources, particularly in relation to children's behavioral outcomes.
