Dear Students & Post-docs:
As the APA conference in New Orleans approaches (August 10 - 13), we want to remind you about the Graduate Student/Postdoc Conversation Hour and two fun social events that you will not want to miss!
The Graduate Student/Postdoc Conversation Hour has been scheduled for Friday, August 11th from 5:00 - 5:50pm. For this session, we have organized a roundtable discussion entitled "Securing a career in aging: Post-doctoral and academic positions". This session will include interactive talks by three distinguished professors: Drs. Anderson Smith and Christopher Hertzog, both from Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Psychology, and Dr. Carolyn Aldwin, from Oregon State University, College of Health and Human Sciences. These speakers, who are actively hiring for post-doctoral and professorship positions, will provide valuable insight, and address your questions about the application processes for jobs and grants in the aging field. This is a great opportunity for Division 20 students and postdoctoral fellows to consider and to prepare for the job market.
After a long day at the conference, be sure to join your fellow students for cocktails and appetizers at the Crescent City Brewhouse (527 Decatur Street;

on Friday, August 11th at 7:00 pm! NOTE LOCATION AND TIME CHANGE from those indicated in our current newsletter article. All Division 20 students, postdocs, family, and friends are welcome to attend. There is no cost for this event, but we do ask that you kindly RSVP to either Cory (cory.bolkan@oregonstate.edu) or Christie (chung_c@MIT.EDU) as soon as possible so that we can make appropriate arrangements for food and drinks.
On Saturday (August 12th), come mingle with psychology and aging researchers at the Joint Division 12 (section 2) and Division 20 social event at Gordon Biersch Restaurant (200 Poydras Street;
