  • Cheryl Swinehart Dariushnia
    We are grateful to Ali Dariushnia, a 2019 graduate of KSU and son of the late Cheryl Swinehart Dariushnia, for a generous gift of $50,000 to our laboratory. Mrs. Dariushnia, who graduated from KSU in 1977 with a degree in nursing, had a lifelong interest in sociology. In honor of Mrs. Dariushnia, we renamed the virtual reality wing of our lab the Cheryl Swinehart Dariushnia Laboratory. The renaming was approved by President Diacon in December of 2022. Thank you, Ali, for your wonderful support. We will do our best to honor your mother's legacy through research and development dedicated to improving the understanding and practice of team performance under threat, including especially in the medical, first responder, and law enforcement professions.
