The American Psychological Association Science Student Council (APASSC) is
inviting students interested in a research career to attend an informal
mentorship event during this year's APA Convention in Toronto. Sponsored
by the Board of Scientific Affairs, this social hour 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. We are honored to have Dr. Sue Whitbourne, who specializes
in adult personality development, agree to participate as the
developmental area mentor. The following scientists will serve as mentors
for the selected research areas:
Biopsychology/Behavioral Neuroscience: Lisa Savage (SUNY Binghamton)
Developmental: Sue Whitbourne (University of Massachusetts)
Industrial/Organizational: Jose Cortina (George Mason University)
Clinical: Lee Anna Clark (University of Iowa)
Quantitative: Dan Bauer (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
Cognitive: Adam Anderson (University of Toronto)
Social: Geoffrey MacDonald (University of Toronto)
Health: Roxane Silver (University of California, Irvine)
*In your response, please specify the research area and mentor in which
you are interested.
The event will be held on Friday, August 7 from 3:00 – 3:50 p.m. at the
Fairmont Royal York Hotel (Alberta Room).
If you would like to attend, please respond to Gloria Luong at
luongg@uci.edu no later than 5:00pm PST on Friday, July 24, 2009.
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 event.
We look forward to seeing you in Toronto!
Sincerely,
Gloria Luong
APA Science Student Council, Chair 2009-2010
