Appointment Information:

We are happy to meet with you when you come into the Graduate Student Success Center.  Please note, in person appointments are available as long as they are between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Any appointments avaialble outside those hours will be conducted virtually via Zoom.

Every hour the Graduate Statistics Studio is open may be considered a "drop-in" time.  Students often do not use all 50 minutes of a session, and there are occasionally students who fail to show up for scheduled appointments.

 Zoom is an online meeting and conferencing platform that allows for audio, video, and screen sharing.  It is an easy to use and high quality solution for those students who, due to distance and time constraints, are unable to physically meet with statistics consultants.  If you would like more information about Zoom, please visit their website: www.zoom.us.

In the Graduate Statistics Studio, we are utilizing Zoom for one-on-one virtual statistics consultations.  We are implementing “Zoom only” and “Zoom hybrid” sessions.  “Zoom only” sessions use the audio, video, and screen sharing features.  “Zoom hybrid” sessions use the screen sharing features of Zoom along with audio via a traditional phone line. The hybrid session accommodates students who may not have a microphone-enabled computer.  In this instance, the student can dial into the ZOOM meeting via phone using a phone number provided by the consultant.

If joining a Stats Consultation Zoom meeting, be sure to follow these steps:

 1. Log into Zoom through Fresno State: https://fresnostate.zoom.us click on sign on with SSO
2. Enter your Fresno State ID and Password
3. You may be directed to Duo Mobile for authentication - follow instructions

Kiana - headshot Kiana Crisosto Kiana is a Central Valley native and a student of Fresno State’s General/Experimental Psychology (M.A.) program. Currently, she is developing her thesis, investigating how the racial alignment between a source and the topic they address impacts credibility perceptions and agreement with such information. As a graduate student, Kiana is working towards gaining experience in the field of data analytics, and hopes to apply her background in psychological research to analyze various facets of human behavior.

I am a proud Chicana General/Experimental Psychology graduate student, here at Fresno State. I transferred from Fresno City College with an associate's degree in psychology in 2021 and completed my bachelor's degree in the same field in May of 2023 at Fresno State. I am expected to graduate in Spring of 2025, and then I plan on pursuing a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Science. 

I am actively involved in three psychology research labs around campus with my current research interests being substance use, risky behaviors, family cohesion, and intergenerational cultural conflict among adolescents in the Latinx community, with an emphasis on the family unit. I am deeply passionate about research psychology, particularly when it comes to historically marginalized and underrepresented groups. 

Besides academics, I enjoy reading all things horror, taking care of my plants, and spending time with my family, partner, and our spoiled cats.
