To Juniors, Sophomores, and Precocious Freshmen Majoring or Intending to Major in Psychology,
Are you interested in making the most of your college experience here at UB? Excited by psychological research? Thinking about attending graduate school in psychology? Do you have (or by the end of your junior year will you have) a strong academic record?
If you answered yes to all of the above, then we would like to tell you about the Psychology Honors Program. Dr. Wendy Quinton, the Director of the Psy Honors Program, will be doing a short presentation and then will be having a question-and-answer forum about the program on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, at 4:30pm, on Zoom (Meeting ID: 921 1685 9936, Passcode: Yay!Honors or https://buffalo.zoom.us/j/92116859936?pwd=d2VaZGdRSGx3WjRNTTJJYStXZFRDdz09)
The SUNY Office of Research and Economic Development is excited to announce the launch of Research Matters, a webinar series designed to increase knowledge and enhance the skills of faculty and students seeking funding for their research. Each month, speakers from broad areas of interest will discuss their research programs and funding opportunities, and participate in interactive Q&A sessions.
The Penn Honors Diversity (PHD) Symposium will be held from October 8-10, 2020 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. The Symposium aims to particularly attract underrepresented students, especially sophomores and juniors, at colleges and universities in the Mid-Atlantic states who are interested in learning more about graduate school. Students will have the opportunity to (a) network with faculty and current graduate students, (b) learn about cutting-edge research and PhD training opportunities at Penn, (c) present their work to faculty and students in a poster session, and (d) attend workshops and seminars about the admissions process, funding opportunities, life as a graduate student, etc.
Students coming from the Mid-Atlantic States who are accepted to attend will have travel, lodging and meals covered. The deadline to apply for the PHD Symposium is April 1, 2020. Students can learn more and apply now at https://home.www.upenn.edu/pages/penn-honors-diversity.
The Experiential Learning Network will cover the cost of registration fees, poster printing and transportation to and from the event. ELN will then contact students who fill out the form with specific details on how to officially register for the conference and take advantage of funding for poster printing.
This fantastic opportunity to share your research and creative activities with the SUNY community is not to be missed!
