Background

Dr. Ross Oakes Mueller began teaching at PLNU in 2007. He is married to Dr. Kendra Oakes Mueller, with whom he has two sons, Nolan and Nash. His research and teaching interests lie in the domain of moral psychology and character development. He and Dr. Leffel currently advise students who research the formation of virtues, including Gratitude and Empathy, amongst others. His most recent project involves understanding the link between grateful emotions and prosocial relational behaviors. In his free time, he enjoys taking his children to the park, and embarrassing himself on the tennis court (you can pick him out as the one who chunks at least one tennis ball over the fence per game). He also enjoys photography, and he is what you might call a "technology enthusiast" (just ask him about the latest gadget ... as long as you're willing to waste an entire afternoon on the subject).

INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) has been charged with the development of LINK review proceduresLINK to enhance the capacity of the institution to protect the participants of research performed by faculty/staff and students of the institution.
