Dear Science Student,
The American Psychological Association Science Student Council (APASSC) is inviting students interested in a research career to attend an informal mentorship breakfast during this year's APA Convention in Boston. Sponsored by the Board of Scientific Affairs, this breakfast is a valuable opportunity for students to receive professional advice and guidance from accomplished scientists in their area of research.
Students will first meet in small groups with a scientist in their specific research area*, followed by time to interact with all scientists in attendance. The following scientists will serve as mentors for the selected research areas:
Behavioral Neuroscience: Howard Eichenbaum (Boston University)
Biopsychology: Marilyn Carroll (University of Minnesota)
Developmental: Nora Newcombe (Temple University)
I/O: Neal Schmitt (Michigan State University)
Clinical: Stefan Hoffman (Boston University)
Quantitative: Craig Enders (Arizona State University)
Cognitive: Denise Park (The University of Texas at Dallas)
Social: Andrew Ward (Swarthmore College)
Health: Beverly Thorn (University of Alabama)
The breakfast will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2008, from 7:30-8:45 a.m. at the Marriott Copely Place in Boston.
If you would like to attend, please respond to Amy Pitta at apitta@apa.org. *In your response, you must specify the research area and mentor in which you are interested. Responses that do not specify a research area will not be accommodated. As space is limited at this breakfast, responses will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. The first five students who accept the invitation will be able to attend.
Please only accept this invitation if you are absolutely certain you can attend. Names of all students attending will be forwarded to the mentors prior to the breakfast.
We look forward to seeing you at the breakfast!
Sincerely,
APA Science Student Council
