Dennis Poepsel
Dr. Dennis Poepsel joined Daemen College in 2015 as an assistant professor of psychology. His primary interest is in teaching undergraduates about psychology and introducing them to what this science has to offer. Over the years, the most satisfying aspect of his career has been mentoring students in research projects.
