Pam Turner's Talk

Hey everyone!

Last night was Pam Turners talk with Applied Psychology Majors. Her talk was very informative for those looking for practicum opportunities, test questions, and what field of Psychology to go into. There were several informational handouts that I believe can be useful for all Applied Psychology majors: Internship/Practicum Opportunities, Subfields of Psychology, Graduate School Planning Tip Sheet, GMAT and GRE score reports, and test help for the GMAT and GRE. These pamphlets can be found at the Career Center. The Career Center can be found outside the Nicholson center, it’s the building that looks like it has a green house roof.

Some helpful tips that were presented in the meeting were: participate in activities and organizations that the campus offers and the career center will check your resume for you before you hand it to employers.

The Career Center is more than happy to help anyone. Pam Turners email address is TurnerP@rmu.edu

March 3rd Meeting

Hi Everyone!

At the meeting it was discussed that Rick Maue, the Master of Deception, will be speaking on April 21st at 8pm at Massey Hall. Also, we are still looking for any movie ideas about mental health that YOU would like to see. If you have any other suggestions of speakers or anything you would like to see at a movie night, please contact rachel!

For fund raising for our future events having tournaments, raffles, selling candy, and jelly bracelets were mentioned. With the tournaments we could have basketball midnight madness, dodgeball, etc. We could raffle off gift baskets, gift certificates for movies, food, or places at the mall. Candy bars and lollipops were suggested but were not too favorable because other organizations use these techniques for fund raising. If any other ideas, please contact rachel!

For community service opportunities, the Kindercare was suggested for tutoring, mentoring and for after school programs for children. If you are interested please contact Ken at kasst24@rmu.edu with your after classes schedule.

Nominations were taken for the Psychology Faculty Award Recipient. The winner has not been named. The nominations were:
Professor Liss
Doctor Kelly
Professor Kitsko
Mrs Paul
Professor Kulick

Lastly, we are still waiting for the approval of Psi Chi at Robert Morris.

If you have any comments or suggestions please email Rachel at psychology@rmu.edu
