An Invitation to Present Student Research!
Here’s a great chance to present the results of your student research project. The Department will be sponsoring students who wish to present at the Ohio Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference. The conference will be held this year at Hiram College. It’s a great experience and looks good on your resume.
Comments(1)We’re Hiring!
The Psychology Department is currently advertising a one year visiting faculty position to begin Fall 2007. The position is in part to cover the absences of Drs. Casey and Stavnezer, both of whom will be on leave for one semester next year. Yes, we’re all jealous….

Psyc Club Events
Important Psyc Club dates to keep in mind!!
March 31: Psychology club will be taking a trip to the Cleveland Zoo. Celebrate the completion of your Senior IS and join Psyc Club on a fun-filled trip to the zoo! Rumor has it, Wooster’s own Crystal Riley will be giving a personal tour.
April 21: A fantastically interesting trip to the National Psychology Archives. This is the real deal people! The official archives, conveniently housed, for some unknown reason, in Akron, Ohio. On last year’s trip Psyc Club watched a rare film of Sigmund Freud in a garden with his grandchildren, viewed artifacts from Zimbardo’s famous Stanford Prison Experiment and even handled a letter written to a certain Mr. Albert Einstein!!!
The next meeting is schedule for Monday the 26th in the 1st floor lounge of Morgan!
Welcome to the Wooster Psyc Blog!
It has arrived….the dawn of Psyc blogging at Wooster…a momentous leap forward locally melding the formal study of behavior with the new age of digital communication. Psychology at Wooster may never be the same…
Okay, okay, actually this is just our experimental foray into an alternative form of communicating with people associated with the Psychology Department and The College (and beyond). Who knows how it will evolve? An extension of the website? A link to alums? A forum for students (and faculty) to complain? A vital cog central to the wellbeing and functioning of the department, the College….? Ummm…ya..only time will tell….
