Henley Social Sciences Research Lab (Henley Lab)<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/index.aspx\"> Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Science<\/a> would like to thank the Henleys for their steadfast commitment to enhancing our students&#8217; educational experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The broad reach of the Henleys\u2019 philanthropy at Chapman University includes Henley Lab Fellows,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/history\/phi-alpha-theta.aspx\"> Phi Alpha Theta<\/a> (the History Honors Society), the Henley Social Sciences Travel Fund, and so much more.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Henley and his wife, Ludie, sponsor the Annual Wilkinson College Henley Social Sciences Awards Ceremony every May and provide yearly funding for the Henley Lab.<\/p>\n<p>The Henley Lab supports undergraduate and faculty research through a variety of programs. Research Fellows staff the lab five days a week and assist faculty with data collection and analysis. They also provide tutoring in SPSS, R, and quantitative methods, all of which would not be possible without the support of the Henleys.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cThe Henley Lab was key in preparing me for a career in public service. The Lab gave me the ability to take data and move beyond the numbers to understand what it means for people,\u201d said Emily Kinney (\u201925 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/political-science\/index.aspx\">Political Science<\/a> and Communications), who is now a management analyst for the city of Aspen, Colorado. \u201cI use this analysis daily in an attempt to serve my community and am so thankful to the Henley Lab for making my time at Chapman so impactful.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Henley Lab Fellows engage in significant research projects with real-world impact. For example, disaster preparedness insights have been utilized by local emergency managers. Work on wildfire watches and warning designs has been implemented by the National Weather Service. Students work with faculty on research ranging from human rights to disaster preparedness, homelessness, and the Chapman Survey of American Fears. Students often co-author with faculty, leading to conference presentations and publications, and they undertake their own original research with faculty mentors, delivering on Chapman\u2019s promise of a personalized education.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16840\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16840\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16840 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/05\/Henley-Lab-Nixon-Library-Trip-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/05\/Henley-Lab-Nixon-Library-Trip-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/05\/Henley-Lab-Nixon-Library-Trip-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/05\/Henley-Lab-Nixon-Library-Trip-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/05\/Henley-Lab-Nixon-Library-Trip-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/05\/Henley-Lab-Nixon-Library-Trip-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16840\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henley Lab students on a field trip to the Nixon Library.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI am now an associate professor of Diplomacy at Seton Hall University&#8217;s School of Diplomacy.

It gave me the opportunity to work as a Research Assistant for multiple professors, where I was able to support a project for the United Nations World Food Programme, as well as the Chapman University Survey on American Fears. During my time as a fellow, I gained valuable skills in deductive reasoning and in communicating complex situations.
