In order to help new psychology majors and those approaching graduation, the Psychology Department will host a series of topical discussions, workshops, and information sessions. These discussions will range from 30-60 minutes and will provide academic and professional information relevant to students’ next steps. Topics and tentative dates for upcoming events are provided below together with a brief description of the goals for each session.
Invitations to sessions with specific session details (e.g., location, time) will be sent to psychology majors and pre-psychology majors. (Be sure that you have updated your email in the Banner system.)
