Norma León is a doctoral student studying basic and applied social psychology in the School of Social Justice, Policy and Evaluation at Claremont Graduate University. Norma is currently adjunct faculty in Psychology, and has had a longtime career in student affairs in higher education. She is experienced in developing student success and transition programs, with an emphasis in student leader development.
Norma’s research focus is on investigating the factors thatinfluence college student success, both undergraduate and graduate, and looking at the success of specific groups such as women in STEM, first-generation, and low-income students. She is incorporating the rich body of knowledge and research methodologies that exist in social psychology into her research in higher education to bring new perspectives and solve student success challenges. In particular, she is looking at social influence/persuasion research (particularly as they impact attitude-behavior consistency), sense of belonging, health behavior, help-seeking behavior, social identity and group dynamics, self-categorization, and interpersonal relations, and how investigating these factors may help solve student retention, persistence, and graduation issues. Norma enjoys the application of new technology, like the use of social media for building community, and other creative ways to apply knowledge for the purpose of problem-solving and improvement. Ultimately, her guiding philosophy is social responsibility and service, which she applies in every role she takes.
