Students learned how to create psychological scales, conduct factor and reliability analyses and test convergent validity of their new scales. Thanks to everyone who completed the questionnaire to provide real data for them to analyze.

Team 1: Phillip Perez, Marissa Gomez, and Lewana Dailey created a scale on psychological safety.
Team 2: Samantha McBride, Melissa East, and Mayo Baugher (not pictured) created a scale on openness to receiving performance feedback.

Our condolences on the passing of ODYN alumnus Griffin Parker. He was a member of ODYN’s first cohort. He will be greatly missed.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our colleague, Griffin Parker, who tragically lost his life in an accident on April 9, 2026.

Griffin was a bright light within Genscripts, known for his warmth, kindness, and infectious laughter. His presence had a way of uplifting everyone around him, and his positive spirit made a lasting impact on both our team and those he served. He will be deeply missed, and his absence will be felt across our organization.

As we navigate this difficult time, please keep his son, daughter, family, and our team in your prayers.
