VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR A RESEARCH STUDY – Ryan Schallon, M.A., Doctoral Student: rschallon@adler.edu

This is an invitation for participation in a research study seeking to investigate the lived experience of artists and their relationship to their medium.

I am a doctoral student at Adler University in Chicago, IL and I am completing my internship at OSU. This research is a part of my dissertation. I am working under the direction of my dissertation chair, Dr. Christina Biedermann (cbiedermann@adler.edu).
