My name is Bryan Abendschein (Ph.D., University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign), an Associate Professor and the Basic Course Director in the School of Communication at Western Michigan University. I study social support, uncertainty, and technology as people navigate times of stress and change. My research draws from theories in relationship development, health communication, and human-robot interaction. I work to share my varied research experience with students as we explore theory and practice in the classroom. I invite you to view the different pages on this site to learn more about my research agenda and teaching development.
