Congratulations to Laureen Teti

The CSC is thrilled to announce the promotion of Laureen Teti, Ph.D., to Associate Director of the CSC and Associate Research Professor of Psychology. Please join us in congratulating Laureen on this well-earned set of honors.

Laureen received her Ph.D. in Applied Developmental Psychology from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 2000 and has served as the Assistant Director of the CSC since 2003. Her research focuses on parenting and the development of children’s emotion regulation in families exposed to high levels of adversity.

At the CSC, she works closely with the director on strategic planning and event planning; facilitates research initiatives and events; oversees center administration, resources, and budget; and serves as a key liaison to other university offices and community stakeholders.

We are lucky to have Laureen on the CSC team and warmly congratulate her on her recent promotions.
