Starting Off Right
This new orientation event will be held each year in September in Pryale Hall. This "Not-for-Freshmen-Only" program will review the formal and invisible curriculums of psychology, the value of capstone courses, and means to obtain funding to support student research.

Careers in Psychology Workshop
The "Careers in Psychology" workshop will be held each year on a Saturday in October. This workshop focuses on the range of career opportunities for those holding a BA, MA, or PhD in Psychology.

How to Get Into Gradschool Workshop
The "How to Get Into Gradschool" workshop will held each year on a Saturday in February. This workshop focuses on the strategies one might adopt to increase their chances of gaining access to graduate education in Psychology and related fields.

These two workshops have been annual events for the past 20+ years. Look for the "Careers" workshop to be repeated in the Fall semesters and the "Grad School" workshop to be repeated in the Winter semesters. Until then, if you missed the workshops this year or simply would like to have PDF versions of the handouts, you may click to download the Careers packet and the Grad School Packets.
