City, Texas State partner for Science in the Parks program

Texas State University’s Department of Psychology and the City of San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department have partnered for Science in the Parks, a partnership designed to promote science outreach in local parks and at community events. 

Texas State’s Dr. Jennifer Clegg and Dr. Katherin Warnell created the child development research program, where children are invited to participate in studies to help them understand how children's social interactions with other change the older they become. 

According to the city, graduate and undergraduate students from the Texas State Pyschology Department share new science about child development by using games and studies with local families.
