Engaged Scholarship & Learning
W e l c o m e t o t h e
University of Texas Rio Grande ValleyEngaged Scholar Symposium
The Office of Engaged Scholarship & Learning (ES&L) is dedicated to the
active investigation and creation of knowledge. We facilitate the professional
development of multidisciplinary undergraduates by offering opportunities to
practice and reflect that knowledge. Our values are aligned to serve student
scholars, faculty mentors, and the Rio Grande Valley community.
Each spring, the ES&L Office hosts its pinnacle undergraduate event, the
UTRGV Engaged Scholar Symposium (ES²). The Engaged Scholar Symposium
was conceived to share and celebrate multidisciplinary undergraduate
research, service learning projects, and creative works.
Our symposium unites multidisciplinary creations across a spectrum
of research, service learning projects, and creative works. This event serves
as a platform to prepare students to grow as emerging professionals and
agents of change.
Thank you for joining us in this campus-wide celebration of student-
driven work. We hope that you enjoy the symposium’s schedule of events
hosted this week.
Sincerely,
The UTRGV Office of Engaged Scholarship & Learning Team

Keynote Speakers
Biography Dr. Ernst has a B.S. degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin and a Masters in clinical psychology from Wichita State University. He finished his training as a clinical psychologist by earning a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. Since 2005, Dr. Ernst has been a tenured Professor of Psychology at UTPA and UTRGV. In 2016, he joined the Dean’s staff as the Associate Dean for Faculty Research and Development for the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Ernst initiated and led the development of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) program, training our graduate students for applied behavioral analytic interventions on children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Currently his undergraduate students find research experience in his lab in Psychology’s Behavioral Neuroscience building where they are using animal models to study various forms of psychopathology, currently eating disorders. His human research involving undergraduates focuses on the relationship of the digit ratio phenomenon to gender dimorphic psychopathology. Dr. Ernst and several of his students will be presenting two posters at the Association for Psychological Science in May. He hopes to resurrect his stalled research on the use of antipsychotic drugs in Latino children living in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas where obesity and diabetes are already epidemic and antipsychotic drugs are known to triple the risk of developing diabetes. He is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy and the Board of Directors of Mujeres Unidas.
